UEFA has today confirmed the revenue distribution for clubs competing in the 2014-15 editions of the Champions League and Europa League.
Napoli, eliminated at the play-off round of the Champions League, will net a €2.1m payment for their early elimination, as part of a total €55m set aside for the 20 clubs involved in this stage.
After this, UEFA list the total gross amount for the Champions League and UEFA Super Cup as standing at €1.285bn.
After deductions from that amount such as 25 per cent for UEFA’s organisational and administrative costs and €40m from the Champions League share contributing to the Europa League share, the money will be split into two parts.
€500.7m will be due to the 32 competing clubs, in set payments based on group stage position, performance and qualification bonuses.
Then, €409.6m will be shared out in variable amounts determined by the market pool. This is money ‘distributed according to the proportional value of each television market represented by the clubs playing in the UEFA Champions League’.
The minimum amount Roma and Juventus can expect from the Champions League each is €8.6m for group stage involvement, with €1m fees then paid on wins and €500,000 for draws.
Clubs will earn €3.5m for reaching the Last 16, €3.9m for progression to the quarter-finals and €4.9m for reaching the semi-finals.
The winners of the tournament stand to net at least €37.4m, as they would be due a further €10.5m, whilst the runners-up will net €6.5m for progressing from the semi-finals.
Meanwhile, the Europa League’s total net share of €208.75m will be shared 60-40 between fixed payments and variable amounts depending on market pools.
Each of the 48 competing teams, which include Torino, Inter, Fiorentina and Napoli, will receive a group stage fee of €1.3m, plus bonuses of €200,000 for a win and €100,000 for a draw. Group winners will also receive €400,000 and runners-up €200,000.
Teams then progressing to the round of 32 will be paid €200,000 each, then into the round of 16 teams will be paid €350,000.
The eight quarter-finalists will receive a further €450,000 each, the semi-finalists will net €1m each whilst the competition winners will earn another payment of €5m, just as the runners-up collect €2.5m.
UEFA report that the most a team can expect from fixed payments, so not including the market pool share, is €9.9m.
