Ukrainian football's chief Grigory Surkis said on Wednesday the Ukrainian players would be well-rewarded for succeeding at Euro 2012 which they are co-hosting with Poland.

"We have a better prize fund than any other team at the European championships," Ukraine's football supremo was quoted as saying.

"The team will receive 500,000 euro for every win at the group stage, while a draw will bring the squad 250,000 euro."

Surkis added that the team will get a two million euro bonus for making the knockout stages and the same amount for reaching the semi-finals.

If Ukraine's team make it to the final they will earn three million euros and 4.5 million euros for winning the title.
