The U.S. women’s soccer team is about to play their first World Cup since reaching an agreement that gets them to share any World Cup prize money they might win with the men’s national team. The U.S. men’s team brought home $13 million from FIFA for reaching the knockout round in 2022. But the pool of prize money for the women’s tournament is just one quarter of the pool from the men’s tournament last year.

WSJ explores how much the USWNT can bring home in winnings and what role FIFA plays.
