UEFA has revealed the UEFA EURO 2020 Prize Money, including how much the winners will take home. The initial tournament budget of £319m was reduced to £284.55m due to year-long delay and increased costs of hosting matches with reduced crowds.
A record potential jackpot of £24million is on offer for the winner of the European Championship despite a small overall reduction in the prize pot due to Covid-19.
Four years ago, at France 2016, 24 nations were involved for the first time. And despite a warning from some that eight more countries would water down the competition. The tournament turned out to be outstanding and gave some nerve-wracking matches for football fans around the globe.
