Players set for $415,000 bonus if they reach and win finalBut disparity between men’s and women’s prizes remains vastHow to watch Matildas vs England; every Matildas story; Golden Boot tracker
The Matildas not only have the chance to make history on the field this week; three victories in eight days could hand each player an extra $277,000 in prize money. But many in the game are still adamant that amount is short-changing women who receive far less than their men’s counterparts, and the ball is now in Fifa’s court to increase the game’s financial rewards after the success of the Women’s World Cup.
France’s players walked away with $138,000 each after losing to Australia in the epic penalty shootout in Brisbane on Saturday. If the Matildas beat England in Wednesday’s semi-final, they will guarantee themselves $300,000 each. A victory over either Spain or Sweden in the final on Sunday would take individual prize money to $415,000.
