Why Women World Cup Prize Money Is So Low Compared To Mens Competition ?

There are some complaints about Prize money for women world cup as mens world cup gets massive 400 times more money than the women competition, World Cup in brazil had a total prize money pool of around $576 million where winners got away with $35 million while women champions will only pocket $2million.

Well 2014 mens world cup was the 30th edition of worlds most watched team competition the world, mens competition in 2015 in brazil generated around $4 billion revenue for FIFA so the prize money pool was $576 million which is 1/8th of the total revenue.

while women world cup is into its 7th edition and its way harder to sell in terms of tv rights and commercial deals, having said that FIFA wants to increase the women prize money with every passing competition and that will only happen if the women version of the game gets more exposure. Right now Women game is around 100 years behind mens football which means it will take alot of time for Women world cup to catch up with mens competition and have the same prize money pool like in tennis.

Women FIFA World Cup 2015 prize money breakdown

FIFA gave out around $576 million in prize money for the mens world cup 2014 where the winners Germany took more than $35 million and the runners ups Argentina received $25 million while each of the 32 teams got minimum of $9.5 million which include $1.5m participation fee and $8m for every team eliminated from the group stages. So that makes mens FIFA World Cup one of the highest paying competition in terms of prize money but what about the women world cup ?
