- FIFA is planning a prize money increase for the 2027 Women's World Cup.
- Distributions are expected to reach at least 220 million US dollars.
- The organization will fail to meet the equal prize money goal set by Gianni Infantino.
FIFA is reportedly planning to increase the prize money for the 2027 Women's World Cup in Brazil. According to British media reports, the total distribution is set to double to at least 220 million US dollars.
However, the organization will fall short of the gender equality target for prize pots that FIFA president Gianni Infantino announced as an ambition in 2023. Despite the potential doubling of funds, a significant gap between the men's and women's tournaments will persist.
This development follows the men's tournament this summer, which generated a record 15 billion US dollars in revenue for FIFA.
