On Thursday, the Premier League announced it would extend additional funds to clubs in England's third, fourth, and fifth divisions to help them recover economically from the Covid-19 pandemic.
League One and League Two clubs will receive an additional 20 million pounds ($26.95 million) in the 2021-22 season, while the 66 clubs in the three National League levels will receive five million pounds between now and 2025.
Richard Masters, Premier League chief executive, said: “We are delighted to be able to provide additional support to EFL and National League clubs at a time when the whole of football is looking to return to normality.”
“This builds on our long-standing support for football at all levels and is part of additional funding we will provide to the wider pyramid and communities following the Government's approval to renew our UK broadcast arrangements.”
“We look forward to working with our football partners to provide more important financial assistance in areas where it is truly needed, which will continue to make a difference to those clubs impacted significantly by COVID-19.”
