Chelsea boss Emma Hayes has responded to the news of a huge financial boost from FIFA for this year's Women's World Cup.
This year's £88.5m pool is more than three times the £24m prize fund FIFA paid out at the 2019 Women's World Cup in France, but there is still currently over a $300m (£238m) difference in prize pots between the men's and women's competitions. FIFA president Gianni Infantino revealed back in March that prize money will be equal by 2027.
The winners of the 2023 Women's World Cup will take home almost a quarter of a million pounds each, and even just for participating in the group stages, every player will earn at least £24,000.
