The Lionesses have paused discussions with the Football Association over performance-related bonuses until after the Women’s World Cup but have said in a statement they are disappointed a resolution has not been found.
The England squad have been pushing to receive bonuses, arguing the announcement that players will receive individual fees set by Fifa for the first time is no reason for them not to be paid by the FA. Those fees start at $30,000 (£24,000) for players who go out in the group stage and rise to $270,000 for the winners.
