UEFA has released nearly 70 million euros ($75 million) of compensation payments to clubs ahead of schedule to help deal with the impact of soccer's COVID-19 related stoppage.
European soccer's governing body pays clubs who have contributed players to national teams during the qualification process for the European Championships.
The payment was due to be made after the completion of the qualification playoffs.
These were originally scheduled for March but were postponed due to the spread of the virus, but the governing body has moved to ensure the cash is sent to clubs.
