For the first time in history, FIFA will allocate players individual fees, the figures of which far exceed many of their club salaries and will increase as teams progress.
Every Matildas World Cup squad member is guaranteed be paid at least $45,000 for their participation in next month’s tournament and would earn $402,000 each for winning it on home soil.
On top of this, FIFA will increase funding to the participating member associations which they can also use to cover World Cup-related costs and then use anything left over for domestic development. However, it remains well short of the $440 million that the world governing body dished out for the 2022 men’s World Cup in Qatar.The move has been praised by the global players’ union, FIFPro, as the “outcome of tremendous global collective action by over 150 national team players” and then months of “constructive negotiation with FIFA”.
