Based on tournament distribution plans, €104 million will go directly to clubs releasing players for UEFA Nations League matches and Euro 2028 qualifying fixtures, translating to an estimated €3,845 per player daily during those international windows.
The remaining €140 million is specifically allocated for the Euro 2028 final tournament across the United Kingdom and Ireland, where top-tier clubs can pocket roughly €10,200 per player per day depending on UEFA classification levels.
Elite European institutions such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan, and Arsenal are projected to benefit the most due to their high concentration of international talent.
