The truth is women football is shit
No big financial sponsorship for watching mediocre women running around for 90mins
They shouldnt be advocating for equal pay
No one watches them
They can hardly even fill a 5,000 capacity stadium

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

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.
Talk about now not the future
This is a joke

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.

Na LGBTQ phenomenon fuel this thing but no problem, Na their palaver. Cuz most of the women soccer players on the women national team Na lesbians.
When Trump suddenly reason the matter, inn fit dabaru the whole thing.


tuoyoojo:
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 ?

I lost millions of Naira on a bet I would have won, my worst mistake was adding a women's match on the ticket because they were leading the table and they were playing against the bottom placed team at home, can you imagine those LGBTQ women lost scandalously, since then me and my guys avoid betting on women games,
they could decide to lose a match because they had a small quarrel with their boyfriends or she's having a menstrual cramp while you are focused on her past performance.
America forcing men and women equality is a joke because even women don't attend women's games, they see it as a gathering of bitter feminists and there's a lot of lesbianism as they announce the marriage of one female player to another female player every week and celebrate it as coming out openly as gay. angry
Now it's monkey (men) dey work and baboon (women) dey chop

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....

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

"ligitous " I like the adjective you used here. It's been years I saw anyone using this adjective. Are you a lawyer?

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

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.

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
Total nonsense .... maybe the winners of league 2 in England should demand same pay with winners of the EPL , since they are both champions... or a normal staff In the bank should demand same pay with the MD , since they are both bankers ... see reasoning ...

I don’t see anything with helping women football, but the women will never be humble when receiving the help, they will claim they are entitled to it.

Is like a gateman you employed in your house telling you he is supposed to be driving one of the plenty cars you have at home, entitlement mentality.

There's no doubt about that. But you can't compare the level of growth now to what it was three to five years ago. That's real growth, irrespective of whether the ticket prices are cheaper or not.

They have won 4 World Cups, and they are genuinely one of the best team in women football. Have you forgotten that the famed Meagan Rapino has several Balon D'or. She is an American football legend.
