While this may not make sense, the good thing is should women sports become profitable in future like the men's sports, the prize money will equally be shared equally too. Right now, it may not make sense because it favours the women.

The U.S. women’s national team won’t play a World Cup match until 2027, but it is still set to receive a major payday from this year’s big tournament.

The U.S. men’s national team earned $16 million from FIFA for reaching the round of 16 before being eliminated by Belgium in a 4-1 loss in Seattle. Under U.S. Soccer’s landmark equal pay collective bargaining agreements, that money will be shared equally with the women’s national team
.

And trump is allowing this rubbish

U.S. Soccer keeps 20 percent of the prize money. The remaining 80 percent is split evenly between the men’s and women’s player pools, meaning each team is set to receive $6.4 million from the USMNT’s run. Based on 26-player rosters, that comes out to roughly $246,153 per player.

The women’s share will not be paid immediately.

The USWNT has not yet qualified for the 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil, and the final roster will not be selected until closer to the tournament. Until then, the money owed to the women will sit in an interest-bearing account, with that interest also split between both player pools.

The arrangement exists because of the equal pay fight led by the U.S. women. The USWNT has won four World Cups, while the men have not advanced past the round of 16 since 2002. In 2019, members of the women’s team sued U.S. Soccer, accusing the federation of gender discrimination. A settlement followed in 2022, along with new CBAs for both teams.

The key piece was the decision to pool and split World Cup prize money, a structure designed to address the gap between FIFA’s payouts for the men’s and women’s tournaments.

That gap was clear in the previous cycle. The USMNT earned $13 million for reaching the round of 16 at the 2022 World Cup. The USWNT earned just $1.87 million for reaching the same stage at the 2023 Women’s World Cup.

Now, the same system is paying out again.

Round-of-16 teams at the expanded 48-team men’s World Cup earned $16 million, while the champion will receive $51 million. Had the U.S. beaten Belgium, a quarterfinal appearance would have earned $20 million, leaving $8 million each after U.S. Soccer’s cut.

Instead, the USMNT’s tournament ended with another round-of-16 exit.

The result stung, but the payout will still ripple across both national teams. The USWNT can return the favor in 2027, with any prize money the women earn in Brazil split with the men under the same agreement.

Money is generated in sports thru different means but one major source of funding is from sales of tickets

That being said, I want to ask this question

How many women pay to watch women play football so that they can generate funds from sale of tickets?

How many women can name teams of women soccer teams.

Very soon the volley ball team would ask for their share the football teams earning because na ball all of them dey play

Does it make sense that men does the hard work and then they split the money with the women. What did the women do to earn with them?

As pa they are married to them or what ?

Wotowotoman:
That B2 maths go be odu tinz because person wey pass maths well go understand say 1m generated by the women’s team is way less than 16m wey men generate.

That C6 for English na let my people go. No wonder to comprehend ordinary basic English article dey hard man pikin. Na wa o.

tuoyoojo:
This does not make sense at all

Different teams, different coaches, different work and training sessions

Then you are asking for same pay

As how nau

If it was marriage they would say they supported the men to achieve their goals

Well US is a very ligitous society, them say form woke wella

See as them dey oppress men in the name of equality

olayinka63:
These are the kind of nonsense policy forcing on Africa. If it work for you, use it but we don't want it and let us be. Instead the US and his mumu allies will devise a proxy means to force African countries to accept such nonsense. We better wake up and stand for ourselves

Guyman02:
How can women Sport become profitable when women will never pay a dime to watch their fellow women play sports, have you ever paid a gate fee to watch women's games in a stadium or viewing centre because you know like someone said above your comment women's games is garbage, they even allowed transgender to play with them

dominique:
The women's team will also share their prize money with the men's team so what's the fuss?

CorperKola:
Talk about now not the future
This is a joke

Legitiscool:
But to be sincere that their women team dey win world cup back to back, more formidable than the men in their women side

The question will be how much is that women wins really worth, may not be 1/4 of the men even without semi final

Lastly it's a fair way of helping women across the sports survive so far they admit they are been helped

Players can always get their individual royalties from private clubs

greatiyk4u:
This is an act of Love and compassion

Imagine if Tinubu and his cronies are allowing even near equal distribution of Nigeria Treasury to the citizens

There won't be insecurities and agitations

LordLicifer:
Men has been using women in Europe and US for free for many years. They used women during wars, they used women as spys, they used women to treat the wounded, cooking for soldiers and many women lost their lives.

So it's time Men pays women for it. If my daughter, girlfriend or wife happens to be one of these American women team I would want her to get paid, wouldn't you?

So before you criticise this idea think! If one of these women happens to be one of yours....

edogu:
Don't you watch Wimbledon or the Women's Premier League? Have you not seen the turnout? That alone should tell you that women's sports are gradually growing.

Just last season, Arsenal shattered the women's transfer market. What the women's game needs most is sustained interest. Once the interest keeps growing, bigger TV rights deals and more sponsorships will naturally follow.
