FIFA is reported to be targeting a $220m prize fund for the 2027 Women’s World Cup, double the 2023 amount but far below the men’s $655m fund. FIFA has not yet confirmed a decision, which is expected at its December council meeting.

The women’s prize fund is reported to be targeted at $220m, up from $110m in 2023; the men’s fund was $655m this year.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino had stated an ambition of prize-fund equality by 2027, but the reported plan would not meet it.
FIFA’s council is expected to consider the decision in December; the 2027 teams are also set to receive $2.5m each in preparation money.
