UEFA will distribute €31.5 million ⁠to clubs who released their players to compete in ‌the 2024-25 season of the Nations ‌League, European football's governing ‌body said on Tuesday.

The ‌payment is the first under ‌the UEFA Club Benefits Programme cycle, which is part ‌of a memorandum of ⁠understanding between ‌UEFA and European Football Clubs (EFC), which ​represents over 800 clubs across Europe.

"The payments ​form part of the €104 million allocated to clubs releasing players ⁠for ​the 2024-25 and 2026-27 UEFA Nations League and the qualifying competition for UEFA Euro 2028," ‌UEFA said in a statement.

"The programme benefits 611 clubs across all UEFA's member associations, including several amateur clubs. RB Leipzig of Germany will receive the highest total compensation in this payment, with ‌approximately €353,000 for releasing 16 ​of its players," it added.

Portugal defeated Spain on penalties in the 2025 final. The 2026-27 edition of the tournament began last week.
