What is the Women's Euro 2022 prize money and how much do the England players get?

If England beat Germany to win Euro 2022 there will be a significant financial reward on top of the sporting glory.

Here's what's on offer.

What is the Women's Euro 2022 prize money?

The total prize money on offer has been doubled this year to a whopping €16million (£13.4million).

This is a huge increase from the previous amount of prize money on offer at the Women’s Euros in 2017, when nations were awarded a total of €8m (£6.7m) to be distributed between them.

That total will be allocated according to two criteria, which are equal distribution (60%) and tournament performance (40%), according to the Mirror.

Equal distribution will see €9.6m (£8m) of the total prize money divided equally among all 16 participants, regardless of their performance in the final tournament, which will see England earn a guaranteed €600,000 (£504,000).

Tournament performance allows for the remaining €6.4m to be allocated according to group stage results and performances in the knockout rounds, of which the latter will account for almost two-thirds of the performance pot. A group stage win is worth €100,000 (£84,000).

The winner of Euro 2022 will receive €660,000 (£554,000), but if they also won all three of their group matches, then they will receive a combined total of €2,085,000 (£1.7m) in prize money.

The runners-up will receive €420,000 (£352,000) for coming second and making it to the final.

As for the players, England Women internationals reportedly get paid £2,000 per match, while they will each receive a bonus of around £55,000 if they beat the Germans.
