Italy is set to take on Germany in the UEFA Nations League quarterfinals, with the first leg scheduled for Thursday, March 20, at San Siro, and the return match on Sunday, March 23. Beyond a place in the semifinals, the match carries significant financial rewards, especially for teams in League A.
Each League A team receives €2.25 million just for participating in the group stage, while League B teams earn €1.5 million, League C teams €1.1 million, and League D teams €750,000. The stakes increase significantly in the knockout rounds: reaching the final is worth €4.5 million, while the tournament winner takes home €6 million. The two losing semifinalists also receive financial compensation, with €3.5 million awarded to the third-place team and €2.5 million to the fourth.
Italy has already secured €2.25 million from the group stage, but the quarterfinal against Germany offers the chance to double that amount. If the Azzurri go all the way and lift the trophy, their total earnings from the competition would reach €10.5 million.
