The 32 participants in the 2002/03 UEFA Champions
League group and knockout stages have been paid €475m
out of the revenue for Europe's most prestigious club
competition.
Forecasts matched
UEFA said the amount paid to the 32 teams on the basis
of fixed bonus payments, performance bonuses and
market pool shares was in line with forecasts made at
the start of the season. Each of the 32 clubs received
a set amount of €1.62m for taking part in the
competition. They also received €325,000 per match for
each fixture played in the first and second group
stages, up to a maximum €3.9m for clubs who qualified
for both.
Group results
With respect to results in the group matches, clubs
were paid €325,000 for a win and €163,000 for a draw -
a maximum €1.95m per group stage, giving a maximum
total of €3.9m. The quarter-finalists each received
€2.6m, and the four semi-finalists €3.25m. Champions
League winners AC Milan received €6.5m for winning the
competition, while runners-up Juventus FC came away
with €3.9m.
TV contracts
Each club was also entitled to a share of the market
pool, allocated in proportion to the value of the TV
contracts for the countries of the clubs concerned.
Furthermore, the amount paid out to the associations
with more than one club in the competition depended on
the number of matches played in the 2002/03 Champions
League, and on the clubs' finishing position in the
previous season's domestic championship.
Market pool
Consequently, for the same number of Champions League
matches, Juventus received more from the market pool
than their conquerors in the final, Milan, because
they finished the 2001/02 Italian domestic season as
champions, while Milan finished fourth.

Associations benefit
Meanwhile, UEFA's 52 member associations and some of
their clubs received more than €25m in solidarity
payments from last season's Champions League. Each
association received €195,000. Clubs eliminated in any
of the three qualifying rounds or the UEFA Cup
qualifying round received €52,000 per round played.
Eliminated clubs
In addition, every club eliminated in either of the
first two UEFA Cup rounds received €52,000, and
domestic champion clubs which did not qualify for the
Champions League first group stage each received
€98,000.
