UCC 2021-24: revenue distribution

Dear Club Representatives,

UEFA issued earlier this month the solidarity payments resulting from the 2021/22 club competitions. Here is a brief infographic explaining how it works:

The payments will be made to UEFA member associations in the course of 2022/23 season for distribution to clubs, which are responsible for deciding on the criteria governing that distribution. In principle, the money given to national associations should be distributed in equal shares between all top-division clubs that were not involved in the group stage of the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and/or UEFA Europa Conference League.

Based on a final overall gross revenue of €3.614bn, a total of €172.1m will be available for solidarity to non-participating clubs (NPC). The money earmarked for this solidarity represents 4% of the overall UEFA Club Competitions gross revenue. The UEFA Executive Committee also decided that 30% of the net surplus in any season of the 2021/24 cycle would be allocated to solidarity to NPC (up to a maximum of €35m).

The top five associations (England, Spain, Italy, Germany and France) will receive a total of €25m based on equal shares of the initial 4%. Top five leagues initially agreed to forego part of their NPC solidarity share and to cap their respective payments at €5m each. These associations will also receive additional amount from the net surplus: €3.3m each. Therefore, each of the top five associations will receive €8.3M.

For the associations outside the top five, a total amount of €130.6m will be distributed as follows: €58.8m (45%) to associations with participants in the UCL group stage and 71.8m (55%) to associations without participants in the UCL group stage of the 2021/22 season.

All details regarding the exact amounts for each national association will be shared later this week in the CAP app.
