The 2023 Women's World Cup featured record prize money, but that doesn't mean that the wage disparity problem in soccer has dissipated.
Per ESPN, a FIFPRO poll released on Wednesday found that one in three Women's World Cup players earn less than $30,000 per year from their national and club teams combined. The poll surveyed 260 World Cup players from 26 of the 32 national teams.
While that number does not include the pre-tax $30,000 minimum World Cup prize money that players were guaranteed from FIFA, it still illustrates the lack of adequate financial compensation for women's soccer players.
