Article 66 Financial rules – matches up to and including the semi-finals - Europa League

Each club retains its receipts from the sale of match tickets and bears all its expenses. The visiting club assumes its expenses for travel, board and lodging, unless the two clubs concerned agree otherwise. If necessary, the provisions of Paragraph 27.06 and Paragraph 27.07 must be observed. In the event of a match being moved for any reason whatsoever, the UEFA administration decides who assumes any expenses incurred by the visiting club as a result.

66.02

The provisional amounts that UEFA pays to the clubs, as per the provisions of Paragraph 66.03, are determined by the UEFA Executive Committee before the start of the competition.

If the gross revenue received by UEFA from media and sponsorship contracts, including licensing and merchandising, for all centralised phases of the UEFA Champions League (i.e. the play-offs onwards), UEFA Europa League (league phase onwards) and UEFA Conference League (league phase onwards) and from the sale of tickets and hospitality packages for the UEFA Champions League final, UEFA Europa League final, UEFA Conference League final and UEFA Super Cup amounts to 4.4 billion EUR or less, the following are deducted:

2. 6.5% to UEFA.

66.05

On the basis of Paragraph 66.03 to Paragraph 66.04, and taking into account any ongoing commercial contracts, UEFA issues a circular letter at the beginning of the season indicating the amounts available for distribution for each competition and to all parties involved per competition, including the treatment of any revenues in excess of 4.4 billion EUR.
