FIFA president calls for ‘full equality’ in football beyond Women’s World Cup

PA Wire

Fifa president Gianni Infantino feels equal pay at the Men’s and Women’s World Cups would only be a “symbol” that would not “solve anything” if additional development targets for the women’s game are not achieved.

On Sunday, England will play Spain in the final for their share of an increased prize pot of 110m US dollars (£86.1m) for this tournament, more than three times than what was on offer for the 2019 Women’s World Cup in France, but still significantly less than the 440m USD (£346m) awarded at the 2022 men’s competition in Qatar.
