Global professional soccer players’ union wants equal World Cup prize money
The global professional soccer players’ union says it sent a letter signed by 150 women’s national team players to FIFA calling for equal World Cup prize money.
FIFPro did not share a copy of the letter and said it could not comment further, as negotiations are ongoing. The names of the players who signed the letter also were not made available.The move comes as there are increasing calls for FIFA to make the prize money for the two tournaments more equitable.
Under their historic collective bargaining agreements reached last year, the U.S. men’s and women’s national teams will equally share the prize money won at the World Cup after U.S. Soccer takes a percentage off the top.
