The payment has been received after Tottenham granted permission for their players to participate in UEFA tournaments from 2020-24. This includes two Nations League campaigns, European qualifiers and Euro 2024 last summer.

The payment of €1.77million (£1.5million) has been given to Spurs. However, Tottenham and the other 900 clubs did not receive any money from the players that featured during Euro 2020, which was delayed until the summer of 2021.

All 901 clubs were equally awarded payments for their players who linked up with the national teams to compete in either European qualifiers or the Nations League. In the case of Euro 2024 last summer, clubs were paid on a per player per day basis.

It wasn't just Tottenham that received money from UEFA as part of the Club Benefits Programme. Arsenal pocketed funds, too, totalling €3.89million (£3.34million), the second-highest among Premier League clubs.

Manchester City received the most money from UEFA as part of the programme with €5.17million (£4.44million).

Liverpool were third on the list with €3.54million (£3.04million), while Manchester United earned €3.16million (£2.71million) and Chelsea received €2.62million (£2.25million).

This will not be the only money that Tottenham will receive from UEFA this year. The club's participation and progression through the Europa League will also earn extra millions, with the club currently preparing to face Bodo/Glimt in the semi-final early next month.

Commenting on the solidarity payments, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said: "It is fantastic to see clubs of all sizes and levels, across the entire football pyramid, receiving financial rewards for their vital role in developing players who contribute to the success of our national team competitions - including the highly successful UEFA EURO 2024 final tournament.

"Every success of our competitions is a shared one, and this benefits programme is another testament to that principle, recognising the dedication of those who work tirelessly to make European football the greatest sport in the world. When football thrives, everyone benefits."

And Nasser Al-Khelaifi, chairman of the ECA, said: "I am very pleased see that more than 900 clubs from all corners of Europe have benefited from this unprecedented distribution under the Club Benefits Programme, which is a key pillar of UEFA and ECA’s Memorandum of Understanding.

"This initiative recognises that clubs play a vital role in the ongoing success of national team football through developing, employing and releasing players; and also that the national team game in-turn drives the development of clubs and their communities.

"This harmonious relationship perfectly reflects the great collaboration between UEFA and ECA today, driving growth, innovation and the positive development of European football in the interests of all."
