Players from Lewes Women have penned an open letter to Chelsea legend Karen Carney calling for equal FA Cup prize money in the men's and women's games.
The Championship side will take on Women's Super League title hopefuls Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the Women's FA Cup on Sunday and are the lowest-ranked side left in this year's competition.
Over the course of their cup campaign, Lewes have earned £45,000, which is a significant uplift on last season's prize pot but remains a figure that still lags far behind the £450,000 awarded to men's teams for reaching the equivalent stage.
