European Leagues' proposal for Post 24 UCC revenue distribution model - Media Coverage

Last Friday, the European Leagues was holding its 46th General Assembly in Prague, Czech Republic. During the meeting, the leagues discussed several matters including the UEFA Club Competitions revenue distribution model for 2024-27 cycle. The European Leagues endorsed the following:

1. Substantial increase of the solidarity distribution to non-participating clubs from 4% to 10% of total UCC revenues (€4.8B)

2. Strengthen the link of solidarity payments to specific projects dedicated to youth and talent development to help clubs competing on the pitch and in the transfer market

3. NPC Solidarity payments must be allocated exclusively to professional football clubs to help counterbalance the much greater distribution of revenues to UCC participating clubs
