"Under the plan drawn up by UEC about 2bn of the prize money would be distributed among all top- and professional second-tier clubs in Europe, dramatically increasing the amount handed to those beyond the elite. As it stands 74% of Uefa's pot is sent to Champions League clubs, with 17% given to the Europa League and 9% to the Conference League."
"The plan put forward by UEC would narrow the split to 50%-30%-20%, with that money pooled proportionately into the domestic leagues of those qualifying rather than to the clubs themselves. Top-flight clubs would receive 85% of the money in those pools, divided equally, while 15% would be shared among those in the divisions below."
"The proposal in essence removes Uefa's value pillar which accounts for 35% of prize money and is based on the value of a country's media market as well as historical performance and absorbs it into the 2bn sum, which is not contingent on either."
The Union of European Clubs proposes a revenue redistribution model for UEFA club competitions that would dramatically alter competitive balance across Europe. Currently, 74% of UEFA's €3.317 billion prize pot flows to Champions League clubs, with only €308 million distributed as solidarity payments to non-competing clubs. The UEC plan would allocate approximately €2 billion among all top-tier and professional second-tier clubs across Europe. The distribution would shift from 74%-17%-9% (Champions-Europa-Conference) to 50%-30%-20%, with funds pooled into domestic leagues rather than individual clubs. Top-flight clubs would receive 85% of pooled money divided equally, while 15% goes to lower divisions. Clubs in European competitions would retain performance-based payments of approximately €1.3 billion, maintaining incentives for on-pitch success.
