Uefa announce Champions League stage by stage prize money

Reports have it that all 32 clubs who contesting in the group stages of the Uefa Champions League starting this week will again take home a minimum of €8.6 million irrespective of results, Uefa said on Monday.
Like last season, every win during the group stage will earn the clubs a bonus of €1 million while a draw will be worth half that amount.

The club crowned champions of Europe in Berlin next June will receive €10.5 million for winning the final.


Last season, champions Real Madrid made a total of €57.4 million and the lowest figure for any club in the group stage was Viktoria Plzen’s €11.1 million.


“The gross commercial revenue from the 2014/15 Uefa Champions League and the 2014 Uefa Super Cup for this campaign is estimated at around €1.34 billion,” a statement from Uefa said.


It was announced last month that clubs could expect a 30 percent increase in those figures from next season because of lucrative new television deals, the continental governing body said.
