FIFA will pay every player at the Women's World Cup at least €28,000 with the 23 players on the winning team to each receive over €250,000.
The announcement by FIFA on Wednesday highlights a commitment to provide compensation to each of the 732 players competing in the summer tournament that will be held in Australia and New Zealand.
It means more than half of FIFA’s prize fund of over €100 million must be paid to the players in the 32 teams that qualified.
