FIFA Misses 2027 Women's World Cup Prize Equality Goal

Gianni Infantino promised equal prize money for the next Women's World Cup in Brazil. FIFA is now falling short of that goal. The men's tournament generated fifteen billion dollars in revenue this summer. The women's prize pot is only expected to hit two hundred twenty million dollars. That sits at roughly one third of the men's fund. One senior female source called the decision a huge missed open goal. The total still marks a substantial increase from previous years. The prize money was one hundred ten million dollars in twenty twenty three. FIFA is also doubling preparation money to two and a half million dollars per team. Every player will now get business flights and their own hotel room. The official decision will wait for the council meeting in December.
