(Those numbers were confirmed by a FIFA spokesman on Thursday.) The $31 million in preparation money and $11 million in club benefits that FIFA is promising in association with the 2023 Women's World Cup are also sizable jumps from previous years - but still pale in comparison to the $70 million in prep costs and $310 million in club benefits tied to the 2022 men's tournament.

The new $110 million pot, though, is still just 25% of the $440 million paid out to the 32 national soccer federations who participated at the 2022 men's World Cup, despite the two tournaments welcoming the same number of teams. And FIFA's ruling Council approved an uptick in 2023 World Cup prize money, well beyond the $60 million that Infantino had previously promised. Infantino also said that, in the more immediate term, players and staff at the 2023 Women's World Cup would have the 'same conditions' and services as the men had in 2022. Plotting a long overdue 'path' toward equality, FIFA president Gianni Infantino announced Thursday that the global soccer governing body's 'ambition' and 'objective' is to have equal prize money on offer at the 20 men's and women's World Cups. FIFA president Gianni Infantino speaks to the media during a FIFA Congress news conference on Main Kigali, Rwanda.
