The Euro 2024 which is disputed in Germany It is already around the corner and, beyond football, it is a tournament that moves enormous amounts of money.
The UEFA It plans to distribute US$360 million among the 24 participating teams, the same amount as in 2021.
Just for participating, each team will receive US$10 million, an amount that the champion could increase to US$31 million if they win every game.
For each victory in the group stage, each team takes US$1.1 millionby tie US$544,000 to qualify for the round of 16 US$1.6 million, to quarters US$2.7 million; In the quarterfinals US$4.4 million, the runner-up pocketed US$5.5 million and the champion US$8.7 million.
On the other hand, the format will be the same as in the two previous editions: a first phase with six groups of four teams each and then four single-match playoffs.
Each team will play three games in its group. The first two finishers in each bracket will qualify for the round of 16, as well as the four best third-place finishers.
In the event of equality between at least two teams in the same group, the positions will be distributed based on the following parameters (in order): number of points, goal difference and number of goals scored in their direct confrontations.
In the qualifying rounds and until the final, the regulated 90 minutes will be followed in the event of a tie, as usual, by extra time and penalties.
As has been done since football activity resumed after the interruption due to the Covid-19 pandemic, five substitutions may be made per match, with the possibility of a sixth in extra time in knockout matches.
UEFA has also allowed the selectors to call up to 26 players and all of them will be able to register in the match report.
Until the first match, the teams may substitute one of their players “in case of serious injury or illness”upon presentation of medical proof.
As in all major tournaments, expelled players or coaches are automatically suspended for the next match in the competition, but in the event of a serious infraction, the UEFA disciplinary body can impose greater sanctions and even extend them to other competitions.
Regarding yellow cards, players or coaches who receive two must automatically serve a one-match suspension, although the score is reset to zero after the quarterfinals.
