SPAIN players will be heavily rewarded if they beat England tomorrow night in Berlin to win the Euro 2024 European Championship trophy.
The Spaniards have been the most exciting team to watch in the tournament in Germany as they seek their first major title since Euro 2012, but they face an England side that is hard to beat and looking to avoid a second successive EuropeanChampionship final defeat, after the penalty shootout loss to Italy at Euro 2020.
Having won all their six games in Germany, Luis de la Fuente’s Spanish team are slight favourites to lift the trophy, and they will be highly motivated by the reward that awaits them.
As confirmed by UEFA before the tournament, the maximum a trophy winning side can receive as a bonus is €28.25m.
With Spain maintaining a 100% record, that will be the total fee and reports from Mundo Deportivo have confirmed the players’ share.
The pre-tournament agreement between the players and the RFEF, the Spanish federation, indicated 30% would go to the squad, regardless of the final result, but that increases to 40% if they win the title.
That adds up as €11.3m for De la Fuente’s 26-man squad, at around €400,000 each, with a portion of the percentage also going to the head coach and his assistants.
