Fifa has revealed that players at the Women’s World Cup next month will earn fees directly from the global governing body for the first time
Fifa has revealed that players at the Women’s World Cup next month will earn individual fees directly from the global governing body for the first time.
The winning team’s players will receive $270,000 each in Australia and New Zealand, while each individual competing in the group stage will earn $30,000 . The amount paid will increase the further the team progresses and in many cases, the figures far exceed players’ salaries at their clubs. Fifa’s 2022 benchmarking report found the average salary of paid players is $14,000 .
The players stated in the letter: “Many players at the Women’s World Cup come into the tournament as amateurs or semi-professional, which undermines their preparation and, in turn, the quality of football we see on the pitch. Many players have no agreement with their member associations to ensure they receive fair and equitable treatment, including a guaranteed World Cup compensation, for example, as a portion of World Cup prize money.
