Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are all set to benefit from UEFA’s announcement that €240million (£200million) will be made available to clubs who have contributed towards international matches taking place by releasing their players for international duty. It comes after the governing body approved the allocation and distribution yesterday, planning out the next four years of international football.
The cycle started from 2020 and will continue through to Euro 2024, covering a number of international matches including the UEFA Nations League and European Championship qualifiers. €100million (£83.5million) of the share comes from two Nations League campaigns and the qualifiers, representing a €30million (£25million) increase on the last four-year period.
The remaining €140million (£117million) comes from the European Championships in 2024, being hosted by Germany from June 14 to July 14. With all three of the Blues, Gunners and Spurs contributing to the international stage, they are set to receive some of this compensation.
