FIFA will look to address the gender pay gap for women's national football teams after this year's Women's World Cup in France, following a call by Professional Footballers Australia (PFA) to give women’s World Cup teams the same prize money that it gives the men's competition. The prize money on offer is further increasing to US$440 million for the 2022 tournament in Qatar. The PFA has called on Fifa, football's world governing body, and its member associations to ensure all female players are paid at least as much as their male counterparts. The PFA has suggested that FIFA double the prize money of France 2019 as a short-term fix with full negotiations to be held after the tournament has finished.
