The Women’s World Cup prize pool totals $110 million this year, compared to $30 million the last time the women played a World Cup in 2019. The pay increase is largely due to the efforts of the U.S. Women’s team and their counterparts around the world to highlight the gender gap in the sport and to demand equal pay. Despite the considerable increase, the money allocated for the women’s teams lags far behind the $440 million prize awarded to the Men’s World Cup players last year.
