USA’s World Cup win over Iran on Tuesday paid dividends for both the men’s and women’s national teams.
The US men are guaranteed $13m in prize money for reaching the last 16 in Qatar. That will be shared equally between the men’s and women’s teams under the equal pay agreement struck between US Soccer and the USWNT Players’ Association earlier this year (10% of the money will go to the US Soccer Federation). For context, the $6.5m coming to the women’s team is more than they won in total for their last two World Cup victories. The USWNT earned $4m for winning the 2019 World Cup and $2m for their title in 2015. Read More
