Germany’s players will each receive a bonus of €300,000 if they win Euro 2016, national football association DFB said yesterday.

World Cup winners in 2014, Germany are among the front-runners for the 24-team tournament in France starting on June 10. They have been drawn in Group C along with Ukraine, Poland and Northern Ireland.

The DFB said that, despite this year’s tournament having more teams and an extra knock-out round, the bonus levels would be the same as for Euro 2012, where Germany lost in the last four.

Players will receive €50,000 for reaching the last eight, €100,000 for a spot in the semi-finals and €150,000 for reaching the final.
