To cover the costs of the mini-tournaments, the UEFA administration credits each host association with a financial contribution based on the host country's gross national income per capita, according to the categorisation of the UEFA member associations:

1. For four-team mini-tournaments:

   • €70,000 for a category 1 host country;

   • €80,000 for a category 2 host country;

   • €90,000 for a category 3 host country.

   • €50,000 for a category 1 host country;

   • €60,000 for a category 2 host country;

This amount is credited to the corresponding UEFA member association's account on completion of the competition phase in question.

The host association pays for the board and lodging of all participating teams (for a maximum of 24 persons per delegation, i.e. 18 players and 6 team officials), and for any costs related to their transport within the host association’s territory. The host association’s obligations to each visiting team commence one day before the team’s first match in a mini-tournament and end one day after their last match.

The travel costs and daily allowances of the referees appointed by the host association are borne by the host association.
