Four months out from the 2023 Women's World Cup, 150 players from 25 women's national teams have signed a letter calling on FIFA to equalise World Cup prize money, as well as conditions and resources, and enshrine those principles in a global collective bargaining agreement.

The letter has been backed by FIFPro, the global players' union that represents roughly 65,000 professional footballers worldwide, which helped deliver it to FIFA president Gianni Infantino last October, just before the start of the 2022 men's World Cup in Qatar.
