According to the USSF, one of the reasons for the disparity can be blamed on how FIFA distributes prize money for the World Cup, one of the largest sources of nonsponsorship revenue for the national teams.
At the same time, at least some of the popularity and viewership can be attributed to a substantially larger level of promotion, leading to a bit of a chicken-egg argument. Don't miss industry news. In contrast, FIFA's purse for the men's 2018 World Cup was $400 million, with the champions receiving $38 million, more than the entire purse at the Women's World Cup.A large portion of the difference in prize money can be attributed to the large television contract for the men's tournament, which generates higher TV ratings. By Alex Abad-Santos Aug 31, 2019, 9:20am EDT With the major sources of revenue (broadcast rights, advertising, ticket sales) pooled together, it is nearly impossible to say if the men or women are generating a larger share of the pie.

"When it comes to World Cup bonuses, USSF argues it is unfair to be held accountable for FIFA's decisions when they are simply passing on prize money," Meg Kelly of The Washington Post wrote.The entire purse for the 2019 Women's World Cup was $30 million, with the winning country receiving $4 million. FIFA could pay women's soccer teams equal prize money if it followed the tennis Grand Slam model and had men and women play together in one World Cup. Besides, with the women playing alongside the men, their game has risen to a level where it is as popular as the men's game and often more.Compare that with professional golf, which has the men and women playing different major events, and the women's game still lags far behind the men's game without the same level of promotion.
