Infantino said in 2023 equality was Fifa’s target Prize money could double but big gap will remain Fifa is to fall short of gender equality with the prize money on offer at next year’s Women’s World Cup, despite making a record $15bn (£11.2bn) in revenue from this summer’s men’s tournament. Gianni Infantino, the Fifa president, said in 2023 that the organisation’s “ambition” was to have “equality” for the prize pot for 2027, saying: “Fifa is stepping up with actions, not just with words.” There had, therefore, been widespread hope across the women’s game that 2027’s prize pot would match the men’s on at least a per-team basis.
