Dundee United, Dundee, St Johnstone, Dunfermline in Uefa payout
UEFA Payout to Scottish Clubs
Scottish football clubs received a share of a record-breaking €233 million (£191 million) payout from the European Club Association (ECA)'s Club Benefits Programme. This program compensates clubs for the release of players between 2020 and 2024 for various UEFA competitions.
Distribution of Funds
The funds were distributed among clubs across Europe, with nearly £2.4 million allocated to Scottish clubs. The breakdown for the Scottish recipients is as follows:
- Dundee United: £75,303
- St Johnstone: £37,650
- Dundee: £12,550
- Dunfermline Athletic: £6,275
Celtic received the largest share among Scottish clubs, with a payout of £1.1 million.
Significance
This payout represents a significant increase from the previous cycle (2016-2020), which totalled £172 million. Dunfermline Athletic's inclusion is notable, as they are one of only two non-top-flight clubs to receive funds.
Dundee United, Dundee, St Johnstone and Dunfermline Athletic will all benefit as part of a mammoth payout from the European Club Association (ECA).
The Club Benefits Programme – part of an agreement between the ECA and Uefa – has seen a record-breaking sum of £191 million paid out to sides across the continent.
Teams are compensated for the release of players in the last four-year cycle (2020 to 2024) for competitions including, but not limited to, the 2020/21 and 2022/23 UEFA Nations League, European qualifiers and Euro 2024.
It is substantial increase from the previous cycle, from 2016 to 2020, which stood at £172 million.
Just shy of £2.4 million was earmarked for clubs in Scotland.
A sum of £75,303 went to United, while St Johnstone banked £37,650 and Dundee earned £12,550.
Dunfermline Athletic – who, along with Livingston, were one of only two sides outside the top-flight to benefit – added £6,275 to their coffers.
Celtic were the biggest beneficiaries, earning £1.1 million.
