24 years after the French national team won the second European Championship in its history, this year it seeks to add a “third star” by winning this tournament held in Germany.
If the “Roosters” team failed to win this tournament when it was held on its home soil in the 2016 edition, and the Portugal team snatched it from them, after defeating them in the final match 1-0, then the “Didi Deschamps Brigade” hopes this time to achieve the achievement, especially in light of the financial temptations. This was spoken by Philippe Diallo, President of the French Football Federation, who said that the players will obtain a “fortune” if they continue the tournament without defeat until winning it and raising the cup on July 14.
The financial prizes set by the European Football Association (UEFA) in this edition do not exceed much the prizes of the previous edition, Euro 2021, as UEFA set an amount of 331 million euros, which will be distributed to the 24 teams that qualify for the tournament, so that Each team receives a “first check” in the amount of 9.25 million euros, and the number increases after that with every win or draw achieved by the team in the preliminary round and the following rounds until the final.
For example, winning a match in the group stage gives the winner one million euros, while a tie gives him 500 thousand euros, qualifying for the round of 16 gives the team 1.5 million euros, the quarter-finals 2.5 million euros, the semi-finals 4 million euros, and qualifying for the final 5 million euros, while The winner of the final match gets 8 million euros, which means that the team that finishes the tournament with a “full score” gets 28.25 million euros.
As happened in the previous edition of the tournament, which was held in 2021, instead of 2020, due to the Corona pandemic, the French Football Federation decided to give the players and technical staff 30% of the amount it receives from UEFA, meaning that if the Roosters win the title Each player receives approximately 300 thousand euros.
