Performance payment

A performance payment is the second pillar of the distribution. It is earned for results in the matches and for the rounds a club reaches, so the money follows what happens on the pitch.

Why it matters

It matters because it ties the money to the football. A club that wins more and advances further earns more, so the pillar gives every club a direct influence over its own share through its performances.

Where it is used

It is used throughout the campaign. Every match in the league phase carries a value, and each round reached adds a further reward, so a long run in the competition compounds into a larger amount.

How to read it

Read the performance pillar as the sporting half of the money. It pays for winning and for advancing, and it is the part of the distribution most responsive to a club's own play across the season.

What it means

money earned for results and for progress in the rounds

Performance payment is one of the working terms of the competition. This entry explains it as a mechanism that holds true from season to season, so it can be read on its own or alongside the other entries in the glossary of the tournament.
