Canadian Women Striking

[Regs]

On the Womens side, first WWC in 1991 had no prize money.

2011 was the first tourney to include prize money and the amount was $5.8M

2019 the amount was $30M

2023 the amount is $110M

I have read that FIFA wants the next WWC prize money to be the same as the amount for the men in 2026.

No wonder Christine said "probably" ... I kid, I kid.

I can not believe how naive I have been. I actually thought it was out of love for country and paying back to a system that gave you so much. Embarrassed actually.

how many of the CMNT players have their club salaries paid by the CSA? Asking for yet another friend...

not this generation. me me me me me.

before reccos jumps in, i'm not suggesting they play for free. it's not a binary thing, but they're way way way too far to the end of "we want our bag"...

Am I wrong or does it appear Canada soccer needs money to fund proper “camps, trainers, physios, exhibitions.” Wouldn’t that Million dollars make more sense helping fund the stuff to actually make us better prepared. You can’t complain that we aren’t getting the funding other teams are getting but then want the money for yourselves.

Admittedly I have no idea how the budgeting and funding works as I have a hard time caring about all this. I always thought the national stuff was more pride and honour stuff. Obviously I’m out of touch. I get the women are in tough, I’m sure lots aren’t making enough as soccer players to call it a profession.

Maybe less is better?
