The Women's World Cup is getting an increase in prize money of more than 300% for this year's tournament.
The $152 million fund for the first 32-team tournament - covering prize money, team preparation and payments to players' clubs - is a huge boost from the 24-team edition in 2019, and 10 times what it was in 2015.
FIFA also said the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand won't be sponsored by the Saudi Arabian tourism authority. Talks about a possible deal had caused unease among players and the tournament co-hosts. “There is a double standard here which I really don't understand,” the FIFA president said, aiming a barb at critics of the deal.
“Equality, diversity and inclusion are really deep commitments for Football Australia,” chief executive James Johnson said, “and we'll continue to work hard with FIFA to ensure the Women's World Cup is shaped in this light.”
