It's currently unclear how exactly prize money for the 2023 tournament will be distributed, but at Qatar 2022, winners Argentina pocketed just under a tenth of the total prize money provided by FIFA. How does the prize money compare to the 2022 World Cup? While the 2023 Women's World Cup has welcomed a healthy boost in prize money, it still pales in comparison to what was on offer for men at the 2022 World Cup. Despite the current gender gap, FIFA president Gianni Infantino hopes to close it completely by the 2027 Women's World Cup with the latest prize money increase part of a three-step plan for equality.

GENEVA (AP) — Every player at the The details confirmed Wednesday by It means more than half of FIFA’s total prize money fund of $110 million must be paid to the players in the 32 team squads. Players from the 16 teams which do not advance from the group stage are still guaranteed to get $30,000 -– more than the annual salary many get from their clubs. FIFA said it is making "a huge investment in women’s football and, for the first time ever, we are guaranteeing prize money for players.” The $110 million pool is more than three times the $30 million prize fund FIFA paid out at the 2019 Women’s World Cup in France. FIFA president Gianni Infantino said at its annual congress in Rwanda that money should go directly to players. The players’ union FIFPRO had challenged FIFA to secure a “global guarantee” that 30% of the prize money would go to players. “Players are united behind simple yet concrete demands for greater professionalization of the FIFA Women’s World Cup,” FIFPRO said in March. The 16 nations exiting in the group stage will get a total of $2.25 million from FIFA -- $690,000 to shares among the players and $1,560,000 for the federation. FIFA will pay $10.5 million to the title-winning nation. The majority of that, $6.21 million, will be distributed among the players with the remaining $4.29 million going to the federation. FIFA previously allocated $30.7 million in total to help the 32 teams prepare for the tournament. The players’ clubs will also get daily-rate pay...

FIFA have continued to pour funds towards World Cup prize money over the past few decades. The 2022 World Cup champions will receive a stunning US$42 million for lifting the trophy in Qatar. That's $4m more than France got in 2018 and five times as much as what was awarded just 20 years ago. With the tournament earning FIFA billions of dollars in revenue, it's only fair that teams and players get a fair share of it. But while the men are raking it, women continue to be offered considerably less prize money for their World Cup efforts. MORE: World Cup prize money for men, women The total prize money pool for the 2022 FIFA World Cup was increased to $440 million for the Qatar tournament. The next Women's World Cup in 2023 has also seen a healthy increase to its overall prize money but it still pales in comparison to the men's tournament. FIFA have curently allocated around $60m for the 2023 Women's World Cup creating a $380m disparity between the two tournaments. This means both women's teams and players receive far less for their achievements on the global stage compared to their male counterparts. It also equals a lot less funding for women's football at international level. ‘If you really care are you letting the gap grow, are you scheduling three finals on the same day? No, you're not’: U.S. co-captain Megan Rapinoe slams FIFA for the disparity in prize money between men’s and women’s World Cups and for scheduling clashes Why is there a difference in prize money for men ...

The substantial gender pay gap is a major issue within the sport, with Women’s World Cup winners earning less prize money than the Men’s World Cup winners. Goal takes a look at what the Men’s team and the Women’s team earn for winning their respective World Cups. HOW MUCH DO THE MEN’S WORLD CUP WINNERS GET PAID? The France team that won the 2018 World Cup in Russia were awarded $38m (£29m). A total of 32 teams competed for $400m (£315m) in prize money. Prize money is awarded based on how far each team managed to progress within the tournament. France’s cash prize alone was more than what all 24 women’s teams competed for in the 2019 World Cup. HOW MUCH DO THE WOMEN’S WORLD CUP WINNERS GET PAID? The total prize money awarded to all participating teams in the 2019 World Cup was in the region of $30m (£24m). It is 7.5 per cent of the total prize money awarded to the 2018 Men’s champions. In reality, since the Women’s World Cup winners do not earn a substantial amount from winning the tournament compared to their male counterparts, they have to rely on other streams of revenue – sponsorship deals, partnerships and salaries given to them by their federation. “At the end of the day, the prize money ends up being so small for the women compared to the men, that we see players relying more on sponsorships, club salaries or federation salaries,” writes Caitlin Murray, who has written a book on the history of the USWNT. In March 2019, the U.S. women’s national time filed a lawsuit a...

The US men’s and women’s soccer teams will share prize money from their respective World Cups equally in a historic agreement announced on Wednesday. US Soccer and the unions for the two teams reached the deal during negotiations for their new collective bargaining agreements, which have now been ratified. “The accomplishments in this CBA are a testament to the incredible efforts of WNT players on and off the field,” said USWNT player and USWNT players’ association president Becky Sauerbrunn. “The gains we have been able to achieve are both because of the strong foundation laid by the generations of WNT players that came before the current team and through our union’s recent collaboration with our counterparts at the [men’s players union] and leadership at US Soccer. “We hope that this agreement and its historic achievements in not only providing for equal pay but also in improving the training and playing environment for national team players will similarly serve as the foundation for continued growth of women’s soccer both in the United States and abroad.” Read more USMNT defender Walker Zimmerman, who is a member of the men’s union leadership group, also welcomed the deal. “There are tough conversations, but at the end of the day, it is the right thing to do,” Zimmerman said. “It’s something that [the US women’s team players] deserve. It’s something that they have fought for so hard, and, to be honest, sometimes it does feel like we had just kind of come alongside of th...
