Australia’s national teams are set to share in any future success in major international tournaments.
The top Matildas and Socceroos players will be able to earn up to $200,000 per year outside the World Cup cycle, plus a share of takings from the game’s showpiece events, under a new collective bargaining agreement.
The salaries will comprise a split of 70 per cent of match payments and 30 per cent in an annual commercial payment. FIFA has indicated the prize money for both the men’s and women’s World Cups will increase for 2026 and 2027 respectively, which will result in players taking home an increased windfall under the new CBA. FIFA has made verbal commitments to equalise women’s World Cup prize money by 2027.The Socceroos received $15 million in prize money for making the round of 16 in last year’s World Cup.
“By incentivising our players to promote further growth we will be able to create new opportunities for generating revenue and unlocking value which was not previously available to us under the old structure. Through this new structure, we have been able to build in the possibility for innovative opportunities to respond to a dynamic and ever-changing landscape.
