""Uefa says it is investing in the \"future of the women's game\" after distributing nine million euros (7.88m) between 103 European clubs as benefit payments for releasing players for Women's Euro 2025. Women's Super League sides Chelsea and Arsenal pocketed a combined 870,525 euros (762,000) as part of the 2.37m euros (2.1m) awarded to English teams. The overall figure is double the 4.5 million euros awarded following the 2022 tournament, with clubs from 16 federations receiving payments.""
""As women's football continues to grow and thrive, we want everyone to share in its success," said Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin. "The club benefits programme is a reflection of the vital role that European clubs play in developing the players who made Uefa Women's Euro 2025 such a groundbreaking and memorable tournament. "The payments are not just a financial reward they are an investment in the future of the game, strengthening the important collaboration between club and national team football.""
""Payments reflect the number of days each player was released from their club for the tournament, including 10 preparation days, the total number of days they were involved in the tournament, and one travel day. The daily rate was 1,095 euros (958.61) per player per day. Chelsea (405,000) and Arsenal (357,000) were the highest earners in the WSL, with Manchester City (280,000), Manchester United (236,000), Everton (136,000), and Leicester City (115,000) also awarded more than 100,000.""
