The success in Berlin also brings significant financial rewards for the Spanish players. The tournament, which generated over 2.4 billion euros in revenue, has seen television rights soar to over 1.44 billion euros and commercial revenue reach over 568 million euros. Ticket sales contributed an additional 300 million euros, with stadium-related income potentially adding up to 100 million euros.
UEFA distributes a portion of this income to federations, clubs, referees, and players. In Spain's case, the prizes are distributed proportionally to the Federation's income during the Euro Cup, with a significant percentage allocated to the players.
Following Spain's dramatic win over England to clinch the Euro 2024 title, each Spanish player could earn up to 400,000 euros from the 28.25 million euros that the Federation would receive for winning the tournament.
