[Saba Sports News] The German team players have once again received bonuses after a gap of 7 years. In the recently concluded European Championship group stage match, the host Germany tied Switzerland 1-1 and secured the top spot in the group. This victory has boosted the confidence of the German players. Not only that, but they have also clinched the group leader after a span of 7 years. The Football Association has rewarded their remarkable performance with a competition bonus. According to reports, the bonus for finishing first in the group in this home European Championship is 50,000 euros per person. The last time the German team secured the first place in a major competition was during their victory in the Confederations Cup in Russia back in 2017. In the European Championship or World Cup, their last group stage triumph was in the 2016 European Championship held in France. If the German team reaches the final of this European Championship and emerges as the champions, the players will receive a record bonus of 400,000 euros. The editor believes that for the players, these bonus rewards are mere trivial matters. Their ultimate focus lies in honor and glory, considering the significant downturn the German team experienced in recent years. In the 2018 World Cup, the defending champions were humiliated and eliminated from the group stage, resulting in the Football Association withholding bonus payments.
