BBC analysis shows a wide gap between leading male and female players' wages but could that be able to change?
With a squad of 30, that equals an average £11.8m per player.Its accounts reveal £2.9m in turnover for 2020-21 while its wage bill is reported at £3.3m.
Average attendance for Premier League games is 39,000, while at Women's Super League matches, average audiences for the most recent season reached 1,931 according to the Football Association.Add to that the fact that tickets for men's matches are much more expensive than women's games. If you're an adult looking to buy a ticket to watch Chelsea in the Premier League, you'll need to be prepared to stump up at least £65.
In comparison, the Women's Super League is currently part way through a UK TV deal worth just £8m a year. As to attendances at games, the Football Association has set a target to reach average attendances at games of 6,000 by 2024, which certainly looks achievable.Will Sunday's win make a difference?Euro 2022 marked the first time that sponsorship was offered just for the women's tournament, rather than simply being bundled with the men's tournament as in the past.
