Smashing Records: DFB's Big Bonus Boost for Germany's Women's Football Champs at Switzerland 2025
Football governing body DFB commends extraordinary EM bonus for female football players, setting a remarkable milestone in sport's gender-equality drive. - Germany's Football Association (DFB) is setting a new precedent by awarding a substantial financial reward to women's football players.
Are you ready for some major paydays in Swiss football? Get your popcorn, folks, because Germany's women's football team is poised to rake in some serious dough at this year's tournament in Switzerland! If our ladies pull off a victory, each player will be pocketing a whopping 120,000 euros—that's double the bonus compared to their performance three years ago in England!
The German Football Association (DFB) dropped the exciting news, confirming that each player would receive performance-based bonuses. Starting from the quarter-finals, players will be rewarded handsomely for their efforts, with potential earnings of 45,000 euros for making it to the elite eight, 65,000 euros for the semis, and an eye-popping 90,000 euros for being runners-up. But wait, there's more! If our queens of the pitch claim the ultimate title on 27 July in the St. Jakob-Park in gorgeous Basel, well, let's just say you won't hear our champions complaining about their low-paying day jobs anymore!
Sadly, the German men's team didn't quite make the cut last year at the home EM, getting eliminated by Spain during the quarter-finals. Had they triumphed, each player would have received 400,000 euros per person for the win and a consolation 150,000 for reaching the semis.
Bernd Neuendorf, President of the DFB, agrees that more performance incentives are needed for women's football. "It's crucial to provide more performance incentives in women's football," Neuendorf declares. "The victory bonus for the tournament, which has now been doubled compared to the previous EM, sends a powerful message."
Germany's women's team kicks off their preliminary round on 4 July in St. Gallen against Poland, and on 8 July, they face Denmark in Basel. Their third group match takes place on 12 July against Sweden in Zurich.
