What will the winners of the Euros final get if they manage to lift the trophy this weekend?
When we talk about winning a major football tournament the conversation is usually focused on the sporting glory that comes with the victory but rarely do people discuss the money that can also be won. However, there is still a lot of money to be made from these things  and England could see themselves walk away from this years Championships with a whopping 33.25m (28.5m) if they bring home the trophy on Sunday night. This particular sum is unlikely to be on the England players minds  who have already said they will donate any prize money they make from the tournament to various NHS causes. However, the potential long-term earnings of anyone involved is likely to increase if they become only the second English team to win a major trophy. Both finalists will have already accrued a decent amount of prize money to date for reaching the final of the European Championships. Each team gets a minimum of 9.25m (7.9m) just for participating in the tournament, and various bonuses for their performance in the group stages. For reaching the last-16 each team will get an additional 2m (1.7m), 3.25m (2.8m) for reaching the quarter-finals and 5m (4.3m) for making it to the semi-finals. The winner on Sunday night will walk away with a cool 10m (8.6m) in extra prize money, while the runner-up will still get a fairly decent 7m (6m). The final of the European Championships will take place at 8pm on Sunday, July 11, at Wembley Stadium when England take on Italy in their first major final for some 55 years. There had been calls to increase the crowd capacity for the final but the government have not given in, with the capacity for the game to remain at 60,000 (the same as it was for both semi-finals). Although this decision will likely be disappointing to many but given the rise in Covid-19 cases the country is currently experiencing it is probably wise not to throw any more fuel on the fire by increasing mixing even further. Unsurprisingly, Brazil has won the most World Cups  with a total of five. Germany and Italy are close behind them in joint second, with both having four of the most prestigious trophies in world sport. England has just won one World Cup to date, which of course was in 1966  and have never finished runners-up, winning in their one appearance in the final. In terms of the Euros, Germany stands joint top with Spain with three trophies apiece  but the former have finished runners-up three times to Spains one, and so slightly edge their Iberian cousins in this department. France is next best with two trophies competition. England has never won nor reached the final until this year.
