The Euro 2024 prize fund is 20 times more than Uefa’s prize fund for the women’s Euro 2022 tournament.
The money for the Euro 2024 prize fund comes from three major sources: media rights, global sponsorships and ticketing, hospitality and licensing.
The sale of media rights to broadcast matches live on television and other channels is expected to surpass Euro 2020’s £900 million, according to UEFA.
UEFA said it received more than 50 million ticket requests in the two application phases for Euro 2024, making the tournament the most in-demand European Championship of all time.
