FIFA President Gianni Infantino plans to work with member Federations to ensure that the $30,000 payments designated for every player at the Women’s World Cup reach the athletes. The payments will go to the individual federations, which are expected to pay the players. The Prize Money fund for the tournament is $110 million, with half of it being paid to the players. The players' union, FIFPRO, had pushed for more equitable conditions and prize money. Infantino aims to equalize the prize money for the men's and women's World Cups by 2026 and 2027, respectively.
