The League of Nations final and the bronze medal match in Finland have rightly been left at the feet of the Huuhkajat drug.
Croatia and Spain will meet in the final in Rotterdam. Croatia knocked off the Netherlands in the semifinals, and Croatia beat Spain with a last-minute goal. Holland and Italy will determine their superiority in the bronze medal match in Enschede at FC Twente’s home stadium.
In addition to the trophy, the team that wins the final will be awarded 10.5 million euros and an advantage for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The winner of the Nations League qualifies for the World Cup held in the USA, Canada and Mexico from the group, where instead of six, five national teams are aiming for a place in the competition.
The losing side of the final will pay nine million euros for the match. The third place in the league is rewarded with eight million euros and the fourth place with seven million euros.
In addition to the prize money awarded in the final and the bronze medal match, Uefa will consider each national team that participated in the Nations League with monetary compensation. For teams that played in the A-league, the amount is 1.5 million euros, in the B-league the compensation is 1 million, in the C-league 750,000 and in the D-league 500,000.
Huuhkajat played in the B-League, finished second in their group, and thus received a million euros for their participation.
The Nations League will be renewed next year with playoffs after the group stage. The purpose of the reform is to add meaningful matches that are more closely tied to the European Championship and World Cup qualifiers.
