Sunday’s Euro 2024 final will see England and Spain battle it out for the right to call themselves European Champions.
Spain, owing to their string of hugely impressive performances in Germany, will start the Berlin showdown as favourites.
England, however, will take confidence from their stirring comebacks against Slovakia, Switzerland and the Netherlands – the first time ever that a team has gone behind in all three knockout rounds of a European Championship and still made it to the final.

But whilst England and Spain will be playing for sporting honour, hoping to get their hands on the iconic Henri Delaunay Cup, the winning team will also earn a sizeable chunk of the total prize money fund on offer.

The total prize money pot for Euro 2024 is €331m, which will be shared between the 24 sides.
Each team will be awarded a lump sum of €9.25m regardless of how well they did in Germany.
