USD 152 million has been earmarked for participants at the FIFA Women’s World Cup and it is an investment three times more compared to 2019.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has announced a significant increase in the funding for teams and players taking part in and contributing to the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia and New Zealand.
Infantino says today they are embarking on a historic journey for women's football and for equality.
The FIFA President says a total package of USD 152 million would be on offer at this year's tournament, three times more than at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in France and over 10 times more than the amount offered at the 2015 tournament in Canada.
In addition to this total investment of USD 152 million in the tournament, FIFA will also be investing the additional funds necessary to ensure that the players at this year’s World Cup enjoy equal conditions and services to those at the men's FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The number of delegates per team, the level of international and domestic travel for the tournament, accommodation standards and rooms, team base camps and facilities, amongst other services extended by FIFA to participating teams will be delivered to the same level as those delivered to the men last year, and into the future.
