Big wins continue on and off the pitch for the Lionesses! ⚽
•
England is stepping up its investment in women’s football, announcing a record-breaking £1.7 million bonus package (~$2.3M) if the Lionesses defend their 2022 title. 📈
•
That’s more than double what players earned for reaching the 2023 World Cup final. 💪
•
On average, each player could take home £73K (~$98K), up from £55K in 2022 — a major move that reflects the growing value and visibility of the women’s game. 🙌
•
This announcement comes hot on the heels of UEFA’s decision to double its own prize pool for 2025, bringing the total purse to £34M ($46M), with £4.3M ($5.8M) earmarked for the winners. 💰
•
From national teams to continental tournaments, the message is clear: investing in women’s football isn’t just overdue — it’s unstoppable. 🙌⚽️🦁
