UEFA has released €236.5m to its 55 member associations to help them through the coronavirus pandemic.
The funds come from UEFA’s HatTrick assistance programme, set up in 2004 with the aim of supporting European football development.
In this case, each member association including the FIGC will be able to use the cash however it sees fit.
"Our sport is facing an unprecedented challenge brought about by the COVID-19 crisis,” UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin told the governing body’s official website.

"Our sport is facing an unprecedented challenge brought about by the COVID-19 crisis,” UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin told the governing body’s official website.
“UEFA wants to help its members to respond in ways that are appropriate to their specific circumstances.
“As a result, we have agreed that up to €4.3m per association, paid for the remainder of this season and next, as well as part of the investment funding, can be used as our members see fit to rebuild the football community.
“I believe this is a responsible decision to help as much as we can; and I am proud of the unity that football is showing throughout this crisis.
“Without doubt, football will be at the heart of life returning to normal. When that time comes, football must be ready to answer that call.”
