men’s UEFA European Championship amounted to nearly 1.9 billion euros. Despite being less valuable than the EUROs, the Nations League still offers teams the chance to pick up millions in prize money: in 2022/23, the
prize money for the men’s Nations League was substantial, with winners Spain earning over 10 million euros.

FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2023. Following the results from the most recent tournament, Spain has also taken the lead in the all-time table of the
UEFA Women’s Nations League, having surpassed former leader France by three points as of March 2024. Meanwhile, the player with the
