sorry if this posted somewhere else.

Heard UEFA have increased prize money in the preliminary rounds of european competitions. Apparently Cork City will earn at least �260,000 in the CL Qualifiers.

Hang on a second !!
Do you have a link to this?

Cork City will get �260,000

On what conditions?
Is it just for taking part...

If they lost 5-0 in both legs do they pocket 260,000 or are you taking in other factors.

That, added to 250,000 or whatever for winning the league from next year makes half a million prize money for the winners. Good Money.

There is something like 160k for partaking & then 100k per round prize money. I think its the prize money per round that has increased.

2 years ago probably for 25k for winning the league & 150k for CL. So increasing from around 175k to 500k from next season for eL winning + CL minimum cash.

I still think its something like 50k per Uefa cup round & no partaking cash (basically a subsidy for failing to make the group stages of CL)

Can someone post up some link to confirm this ?
I do take your word for it but it seems too easy

People have also posted that the Intertoto prize money has gone up to 50K for the first round.

This is decent money for early rounds of UEFA competition and cant be laughed at.

Id just like to see it confirmed somhwere..
