Recently, there's been remarkable excitement surrounding the Women's World Cup Football, unlike any previous edition. Despite this fervor, women's football has faced economic challenges. The optimism of experts and the buzz around the World Cup have the potential to reshape the financial landscape of the sport.


A substantial economic gap exists between men's and women's football, exemplified by the prize money for the FIFA World Cup. The Women's World Cup champions, Spain, received $4.29 million, while Lionel Messi's Argentina earned $42 million for their Men's World Cup victory – a mere tenth of the men's prize.


Major European football powerhouses include England, Spain, France, Germany, and Italy. These countries' TV channels hold broadcasting rights for the Women's World Cup, paying FIFA between $1 million and $10 million. In contrast, they shell out $100 million to $200 million for the Men's World Cup. Negotiations with TV companies have been challenging, as stated by FIFA President Gianni Infantino.


Concerning club revenues, women's football contributes a mere 1% to the earnings of top-tier clubs globally. For instance, in the 2020-21 financial year, Real Madrid's men's team earned €713.8 million, while the women's team earned just €1.4 million.


Historically, governing bodies of top clubs have not provided equal opportunities and facilities for women's teams. Limited access to resources and training infrastructure has been an issue. However, there are signs of change, with more inclusivity for women's teams emerging.


Experts predict that this World Cup could reshape perceptions of women's football, potentially increasing viewership and attendance for local matches. Such a shift could also drive economic growth, as investment in sports often follows popularity trends.
