Let's start with the good news -- Australia's female footballers are getting a payrise as part of a new two-year deal announced on Monday. The wages come with no maximum cap for any one player and the average pay rate for W-League players is also expected to jump from $6,909 to $15,500 for the coming season. Huge milestone for women's football. "Westfield W-League players deserve this pay rise. While the highest earning female footballers are now expected to earn at least $130,000 a year, a $15,500 average pay rate in a national league isn't that much -- it's definitely not enough for female footballers to live on alone.
