       Euro2022 Finals - Prize money increase from UEFA
       By: EalingGreen Date: September 23, 2021, 9:23 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Uefa has doubled the prize money available to teams for the
       women's European Championship in 2022.
       The 16 qualified teams will now share 16m euros (£13.73m),
       double the 8m euros (£6.86m) that was distributed at Euro 2017
       in the Netherlands.
       Uefa's executive committee approved the increase in prize money
       for the women's event on Wednesday, along with a new
       distribution model, to include performance-based bonuses for the
       group stage.
       The governing body also approved a plan that will make 4.5m
       euros (£3.86m) available to European clubs as reward for
       releasing their players for the tournament.

       Of course whilst welcome, this should be seen in the context of
       the prize money at the men's Euro 2020 tournament being 371m
       euros (£317m), albeit distributed between 24 teams.
       Otoh, with the women having 16 x teams, each with a squad of
       23(?) players, the release fee of £3.86m should mean around £10k
       per player going to their clubs, which is a tidy sum for our own
       local womens teams, some of whom should have a few players in
       our squad.
