23.5 Million for the Winner of EURO 2012

On such a big tournament every participating country sends their best players to maybe just get through the group stage, get a medal or the goal might be to win the trophy. That's what we see, but what else is on stake here?


Each of the 16 finalists will pocket 8.0 million euros for reaching the championship, with 1.0 million euros on offer for a win in the group stage and 500,000 euros for a group stage draw.

Victory in the quarter-finals will be worth 2.0 million euros, a semi-final victory will add another 3.0 million euros to their pot, while the team winning the final will land another 7.5 million euro. The runner-up will collect 4.5 million euros.

UEFA have also decided to give a 1.0 million euro bonus to the team finishing third in the group.
"This will act as an incentive if the top two qualifying places are already decided." a spokesman said.


So Germany has the chance to earn 23.5 million euro by winning by winning 3 more matches and this way the trophy.
