How much do England women’s footballers get paid for playing at the World Cup?
ENGLAND’S Lionesses could earn nearly a quarter of a million pounds each if they win the Women’s World Cup.
FIFA have boosted this year’s pool to £88.5million – more than three times the amount of the £24m prize fund at the 2019 Women’s World Cup in France.
Sarina Wiegman’s squad are aiming to go big and win this year’s World Cup.
FIFA will not pay the prize money directly to individual associations such as the English FA as they did before.
Now each squad member will receive a specific amount depending on what stage they reach during the tournament.
However, the prize money is still a lot less than the men who take home £313m.
