Hajduk Split earns 350,000 euros after advancing in Europa League qualifiers

Hajduk Split has earned a significant financial injection from UEFA after successfully navigating the first qualifying round of the Europa League. The Croatian club advanced to the second round by overcoming Žilina with a combined score of 3-2, despite a 2-1 loss in the away match.

While there is no special bonus for defeating Žilina, the progression itself guarantees further participation and associated funding. For each qualifying round appearance in the Europa League, UEFA disburses 175,000 euros to participating teams. This means Hajduk has secured this amount for their matches against Žilina and will receive the same sum for competing in the second qualifying round.

Consequently, regardless of the outcomes in their upcoming European fixtures, Hajduk is guaranteed to earn a total of 350,000 euros. This financial reward underscores the importance of success in European competitions for clubs like Hajduk, providing crucial funds for operations and development.
