FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Germany has doubled the bonus on offer for its women's national soccer team if it wins the upcoming European Championship.

The increase to 120,000 euros ($137,000) per player for winning the tournament in July is twice the sum that was on offer when Germany reached the final of Euro 2022, said the national soccer federation, known as the DFB.

However, it remains less than a third of the 400,000-euro ($456,000) bonus that German agency dpa reported was promised to the men's team if it won Euro 2024. The men's team was knocked out in the quarterfinals.
