FIFA president Gianni Infantino announces the $US150 million prize as part of a three-step plan for equality.
abc.net.au/news/fifa-women-world-cup-2023-prize-money/102108372The prize money for the 2023 Women's World Cup will be $226 million, 10 times what it was in 2015 and three times the amount of 2019.FIFA President Gianni Infantino says the organisation plans for "equality in payment" by 2026-2027In October, 150 players wrote to FIFA seeking equal Women's World Cup conditions
The figure, however, was still considerably lower than the $US440 million total prize money awarded at the men's World Cup in Qatar last year. Step one, he said, would be equal conditions and services, such as accommodation and flights, for all men and women playing at a World Cup."This will be a reality already for the Cup in 2023, same conditions as for the World Cup '22 will be for the players and coaching staff in the Women's World Cup in '23," he said.
Step three, according to Mr Infantino, would be the most complicated, and would include a dedicated marketing strategy for the women's game."Our mission will be able to have equality in payments for 2026 men's and 2027 women's World Cups," he said.
