gruffcymru Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 In euro league, you get prize money for playing in qualifying rounds, it increases as you progress every round. But in champions cup, you don't get a penny until you reach the group stages. Which means you could play 10-12 qualifying/playoff matches (have huge travel costs for smaller clubs) but no prize money to make up for it. Is this a bug or a reflection of a very unfair system in real life? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Modeste Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hi @gruffcymru, I'm going to pass this on to our Dev Team to investigate. Is this occurring on the Porthmadog FC save you sent previously? Thanks, Harrison Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggenstein Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Same here, I always thought this was just the way things are. Just done a quick search and discovered I've been cheated out of so much money! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Dan Marshall Posted March 22, 2021 SI Staff Share Posted March 22, 2021 This is still being reviewed and we're aiming to make the prize money distribution rules a bit clearer in game. As per the UEFA revenue distribution system, the prize money for qualifying rounds is handled slightly differently in the Champions League to the Europa League. You receive money based up on the qualifying round you get knocked out in, rather than just for participating in each round. So if you do make it through all the qualifying rounds to the play-offs, you would benefit from the group stages money (for the UCL or Europa League). Below is from the 2019/20 UEFA revenue distribution information: 2019/20 UEFA club competitions revenue distribution system | Inside UEFA | UEFA.com Each club participating in the qualifying rounds that does not qualify for the UCL play-offs will receive the following amounts per round played: • preliminary round – €230,000 • first qualifying round – €280,000 • second qualifying round – €380,000 • third qualifying round – €480,000 (only for clubs eliminated from the champions path, since clubs eliminated from the league path qualify directly for the UEFA Europa League group stage and therefore benefit from its distribution system) • No solidarity payments will be paid in the play-offs as the clubs involved will benefit from the UEFA Champions League/UEFA Europa League centralised phase distribution.

When do you receive the money though? It might be better if we received the money the moment we are knocked out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
