UEFA has confirmed that each of the 55 European countries competing in the Nations League will receive an increase in solidarity payments and prize money. The increase in funding was made possible by UEFA’s earnings from Euro 2016 as well as the healthy state of its finances. The following infographic shows how the solidarity fees and prize money will be distributed.

For example, the solidarity fees in League A will amount to €2.25 million per team while the winner will receive a bonus of €2.25 million. The amount of funding falls across the four different leagues and it amounts to €750,000 in League D. The group’s winners will receive the exact same sum.

Few sporting events capture the attention of the world in the way the FIFA World Cup does every four years. Thanks to the truly global nature of the sport, billions of people follow the World Cup, making it a very lucrative event for the organization behind it, FIFA.

According to the global footballing body’s latest financial report, it expects to earn $3 billion selling TV rights in the ongoing World Cup cycle, i.e. the four-year period leading up to this year’s tournament in Russia, the lion’s share of which (more than 95 percent) can be attributed to World Cup broadcasting rights. The 2014 World Cup in Brazil was broadcast in 207 territories across the globe for a total of 98,000 broadcasting hours, which translates into more than 11 years of World Cup coverage and earned FIFA roughly $2.5 billion.

In general, the FIFA World Cup is a highly profitable event for FIFA. After the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, FIFA’s surplus amounted to $2.6 billion.
