FA and players agree deal that eclipses 2022 payments
Amount more than double for reaching 2023 World Cup final
The FA has agreed a record bonus package with England’s Lionesses worth up to £1.7m if they retain their European Championship title this summer. Negotiations had reached an impasse, risking a repeat of the standoff that disrupted their preparations for the 2023 World Cupbut the discussions have concluded with the squad happy with the outcome.
The FA is understood to have increased their offer, with the £1.7m bonus pot more than double the amount the players received for reaching the World Cup final in Australia two years ago. While the amount paid to each player will depend on appearances and minutes played, the average bonus on offer if England win the tournament is about £73,000, more than £18,000 above what they received after their historic triumph at Wembley three years ago.
