UEFA has announced a total fund of €18.2 million to be distributed among the 18 clubs participating in the centralized phase of the Women's Champions League, including Barcelona as the reigning champions.
Each club starting the group stage will receive an initial bonus of €505,000, paid in two parts: an advance of €378,750 and the remaining €126,250. Additional bonuses are awarded based on match results and final group standings.
For every win in the group stage, clubs earn €60,000, and €20,000 for a draw. The team finishing last (18th) in the group will receive €10,000, with the payment increasing by €10,000 for each higher position. The top team in the group phase will thus receive €180,000 in classification bonuses.
Progressing through the knockout rounds also brings incremental rewards: qualifying for the knockout phase grants €100,000, quarter-finals €200,000, semi-finals €250,000. The tournament winner receives a €500,000 prize, with the runner-up earning €300,000.
A successful title defense in the Champions League would mean a minimum of €1.7 million in UEFA bonuses for Barcelona, underlining the financial impact of the club's performance on the continental stage.
