Europe's top clubs have agreed to a new deal with UEFA which gives them more money and a bigger voice in how European soccer is run.
The European Club Association said on Tuesday it renewed a working accord through May 2022 which guarantees clubs at least 200 million euros ($214 million) from UEFA's 2020 European Championship revenue. The current deal is for a flat fee of 150 million euros ($161 million) for Euro 2016.
The new deal tops the $209 million FIFA agreed to with the ECA two weeks ago to share among clubs worldwide from each of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
