FIFA President Gianni Infantino could make no guarantee Wednesday that the member federations will distribute the $30,000 payments promised to every player at the Women's World Cup. FIFA had previously confirmed that the 732 players participating in the World Cup will be paid at least $30,000 each. The prize pool is more than three times the $30 million prize fund FIFA paid out at the 2019 Women's World Cup in France. Infantino said the Women's World Cup is expected to generate a half-billion dollars in revenue and the organization will break even. For the first time, the commercial rights for the Women's World Cup were sold separately from the men's tournament.
