Radenko Mijatović, President of the Football Association of Slovenia, recently revealed that footballers will share a million euro prize for qualifying for Euro 2024. The NFA will divide approximately half of the amount it receives from the European Football Association (UEFA) between the selector Matjaz Kek and his protégés. In addition, members of the Slovenian national team are also entitled by law to a cash prize from the State.
The Government of the Republic of Slovenia will take into account the Rules on co-financing the implementation of the annual sports programme at national level when awarding the prize money to the football players, but the final amount to be distributed among the players will only be known after the end of the performances at Euro 2024, which will take place in Germany from 14. 14. July next year.
“The prizes for team achievements in team sports are set out in 48. Article 2 of the Rules on co-financing the implementation of the annual national sports programme. In accordance with the table referred to in the second paragraph of Article 48. Article 5 of the Rules, points are awarded for qualification for a championship (European or World) and for qualification for the championship itself. Fourth paragraph 48. Article 4.1 provides that if a national federation is ranked in the top eight teams or higher, only the final ranking will be considered as an achievement. Accordingly, the performance of the national football team will only be evaluated after the 2024 European Championship, depending on its final ranking in that competition,“, the Ministry of Economy, Tourism and Sport responded to our question about the amount of money Slovenia will receive from the state for its success in the Euro 2024 qualifiers.
