An understanding between Uefa, European football's governing body, and the European Club Association (ECA) means some of the revenue from Euro 2016 is shared among those clubs who released players to their national teams.
Clubs that released players for the final tournament took a share of 100m euros (£85.6m), while another 50m euros (£42.58m) was set aside for those that released players for qualifying matches.
Another 744,937 euros (£634,390) was carried over from Euro 2012 and divided up during the qualification phase.
"It is important and fair to recognise and reward the clubs for the release of their players," said ECA Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
In qualifying, each club that releases a player to the national team for is entitled to receive a fixed amount per player, per match.
For the final tournament, clubs receive a fixed amount per player, per day. This starts 14 days before the player's country's first match and ends the day after their last match.
Wales - total amount in Euros earned from Euro 2016/qualifying
Bala Town 21,069 Swansea City 1,321,969
Cardiff City 392,336
Waaaahhhhooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who did Bala Town release? My only guess was Owain Fon but looking on Wiki he's never played for them?
Or did they release someone for a different national team?Originally Posted by jnc90
Assume Cardiff had the money for Gunnar, Huws, Lawrence, Jazz? Anyone else?
David Artell who played for Gibraltar in the qualifiers for Euro 2016
Good find! Nice little pay out for them for releasing 1 player!
For a club like Bala a sum of money like that will no doubt come in very handy.
I recall reading while back that Inverness C T were expecting well over £100k in respect of Owain Fon Williams's participation & the further we progressed the more they would get.

The attached article provides a bit more info.
The miserly Vinny, wreathed in smiles, is probably racing around his office waving the cheque above his head. Meanwhile at the CCS, Choo, Dalman, Nash and Gilliatt are doing the conga around the car park.

Reading and derby also picked up over a million
Looks like juventus picked up the most, and Liverpool and spurs close behind
Bala should reinvest that money in more gibraltan players- by the next qualifying campaign it could become more lucrative to them than playing in the Welsh league
And financially prop us up , more than anyone else including welsh businesses and millionaires
Vinny can be accused of many things but miserly isn't one of them unless you think the huge debt owed to him of in excess of £100m is a small sum.
