With weeks to go until the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, the teams taking part in the tournament will earn significantly more in 2023 than they did in 2019.
According to FIFA, the budget for prize money distributed to teams that qualified for their tournament has more than tripled from their previous tournament held in France.
FIFA will pay out a combined $152million through their performance-based fund, their club benefits program, and preparation money distributed to each nation.
This is comparatively much more than the $50m handed out to teams back in 2019.
The teams that stand to gain the most from this are those that do worse in the tournament - which can be seen as an effort to grow the game in areas that haven't funded their women's programs as much.
