The prize money for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup will increase by 300% to $150 million
, FIFA President Gianni Infantino told delegates at the 73rd FIFA Congress in Kigali, Rwanda on Thursday. While the Women’s World Cup prize money is now three times the 2019 figure and 10 times more than in 2015, prior to when Infantino became FIFA president, it is still considerably lower than the $440 million total prize money awarded at the men’s World Cup in Qatar last year.
He added that step three “will be the most complicated one” 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,” Infantino said. Last year, the United States Women’s National Team earned more money – $6.5 million – from its male equivalent reaching the knockout stages of Qatar 2022 than it did from winning World Cup tournaments in 2015 and 2019.
