FIFA President Gianni Infantino said earlier this year that equal prize-money for men and women at the World Cup should be in place by 2027, as he announced a significant jump for the tournament in Australia and New Zealand.
The 2023 World Cup will see a 300% increase from 2019 for the women, with overall prize-money up to $150-million.
Around $60-million of that will go directly to players, but the overall pot is still well short of the $440-million that was shared among the men's teams at their World Cup in Qatar late last year.
