Women's £122 million World Cup prize money to be paid directly to players
In a first for the women's tournament, Fifa will guarantee a minimum payment of £24,000 per player, with the winners earning nine times more

Players at next month’s Women’s World Cup will be paid by Fifa for the first time, with each of the 23 squad members of the winning side pocketing £217,000.

In a significant step forward for the female game, individuals competing at the tournament in Australia and New Zealand will be guaranteed to take home £24,000, with that sum rising the further their team progresses.


Given that the average global salary for a women’s footballer is $14,000 (£11,300), as highlighted in Fifa’s 2022 benchmarking report, some players could make more money in a fortnight than they earn in an entire season for their clubs.

Fifpro, the players’ union, hailed the move as “tremendous global collective action by over 150 national team players” but the money is still a fraction of the individual payments enjoyed by male players at a World Cup.

This summer’s Women’s World Cup will have a record amount of prize money of $152 million (£122 million) and although that represents a 300 per cent increase from the 2019 edition, it is still only around a third of $440 million (£353 million) prize pot at the men’s World Cup in Qatar.

Last October, Fifpro sent a letter to the global governing body on behalf of 150 players from 25 national teams – including players from England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland – calling for fairer financial conditions and a guarantee that at least 30 per cent of prize money would be allocated to participating players at the tournament.

“At our last respective Fifa World Cups, women earned less than seven per cent of the men’s prize money. That gap is significant in and of itself and tells only part of the story,” the union stated in the letter.

“Many players at the Women’s World Cup come into the tournament as amateurs or semi-professional, which undermines their preparation and, in turn, the quality of football we see on the pitch. Many players have no agreement with their Member Associations to ensure they receive fair and equitable treatment, including a guaranteed World Cup compensation, for example, as a portion of World Cup prize money.”

Previously, national associations were not required to distribute a minimum amount of World Cup prize money to players but under the new agreement, £88.5 million of Fifa’s total prize fund must be paid directly to players in each of the 32 team squads.

Fifa has previously said it is aiming for parity between the men’s and women’s tournaments by 2027, but with broadcast deals for next month’s tournament in several key markets yet to be reached, the governing body is understood to be shouldering more of the prize money compared to sponsors than it anticipated.

Last month, Fifa president Gianni Infantino revealed the offers from the major European broadcasters were so low they were a “slap in the face” to the players and “all women worldwide”.

Nigeria won’t have to worry about that so great thing we don’t have local coach at the helm
make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable.

"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

But I no go lie, the thought of a local girl come good, winning over N200m with a World Cup winning Super Falcons team is a HUUUUUUGE incentive to fight till you drop.
Even the N24m appearance money alone will cause heartbreak for those that don’t make the squad.
Let us pray the selection process is fair….

But the news reports enphasise that FIFA will pay the money to the girls DIRECT.
Unless the wording is suspect, the impression given is that FIFA pays the money into their accounts, and not their home football associations.

I really think this was a big mistake on the part of FIFA in announcing this package the way they did.
For one, in the case of African countries, it may lead to coaches and associations trying to influence the selection so they may get a cut. The NFF has already started posturing that they will insist on 4 home based players. We all know what that means - who pays the most will be on the list.
Also, what about the players who played in the qualifiers but due to injuries, may not feature in the WWC proper? There are at least 10 key women footballers from different countries that fall in to this category. Specifically, the likes of Christen Press, Mallory Swanson and Catarina Macario (USA), Beth Mead (ENG), Marie Ant. Katoto (FRA), Alexia Putellas (SPA), Viv Miedema (NED), Marta (BRA), to name a few.
Does that mean they don't get compensated for their efforts in helping their countries qualify?

FIFA’s job is not to help out dysfunctional and greedy African FAs.

Make these people that are complaining that Picnic drained the vault no get their hands on these payouts. Oga adikwa egwu! 😆

True.
Ultimately, FIFA’s loyalty is to the players, not corrupt administrators.
Unfortunately, players will always miss out due to injuries and non-selection. It’s part of the game.
It’s just sad that our country is so corrupt that we have no confidence that our players will fully benefit from FIFA’s attempt to reward them.
But there’s no point us just lamenting.
Accountability is what we need to demand loudly and clearly.
