The global professional soccer players' union sent FIFA a letter signing 150 players from the women's national teams calling for equal World Cup prize money. As confirmed by FIFPro, the letter - which also demanded equal rights for women's teams competing in soccer's most prestigious tournament - was sent to the sport's governing body in October, a month before the men's World Cup began. The Women's World Cup is set for this summer in Australia and New Zealand.

"We can confirm a letter signed by 150 players from national teams on every continent was sent to FIFA in October. These players are seeking equitable conditions before the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. FIFPRO is currently negotiating with FIFA on behalf of these players," FIFPro said in a statement. Increasingly, FIFA is being asked to make the prize money for the two tournaments more equitable.
Argentina earned $42m for winning the men's World Cup in Qatar, out of a prize pool of $440m. In contrast, the US women's national team won $4m out of a prize pool of $30m for the 2019 Women's World Cup in France. The prize pool for the women's tournament this summer has not been set.

In accordance with their historic collective bargaining agreements reached last year, the US men's and women's national teams will split the prize money equally after US Soccer deducts its own percentage. In ongoing negotiations with Canada Soccer for a new labor agreement, the Canadian women's national team has called for a similar provision. At present, only US Soccer distributes World Cup prize money equally.

The Women's World Cup, which starts on July 20, has an expanded field of 32 teams, up from 24 in France. The 2019 tournament drew a global broadcast audience of over 1bn viewers.

Hmmm

Gender Equality stuff
The world needs to be careful

Ogun go punish them. Who dey watch women football.

Let’s be realistic, they do not generate the same revenue that men’s world cup generates but I’m not surprised.

Lol, women

Why are we still facing such issues in 2023?

Don’t let these feminists see this

But why are women still underpaid in this 21st Century?
