The Women's World Cup is getting an increase in prize money of more than 300% for this year's 32-team tournament. That's about a third of what the 32 men’s teams shared at last year’s World Cup in Qatar.
The Women's World Cup is getting an increase in prize money of more than 300% for this year's tournament.
Players' union FIFPRO said Thursday it has challenged FIFA to secure a "global guarantee of at least 30% of prize money" that is paid to players. Infantino called the dispute a "storm in a teacup" and said extending the Visit Saudi deal, which started at the men's World Cup in Qatar, was a discussion that "didn't lead into a contract."
The Australian soccer federation said in a statement it welcomed FIFA clarifying the Visit Saudi speculation. Infantino set a target of equal prize money for men and women at their next World Cups, in 2026 and 2027, respectively - a tough task when the 32 men's teams shared $440 million at last year's World Cup in Qatar.
