US EditionAfrica: FIFA to Pay First Women's Champions Cup Winner Record $2.3m
The $3.9 million fund rewards six continental champions, with $2.3 million to the winner, highlighting FIFA's commitment to growing women's club soccer.
- On Feb. 1, FIFA will pay $2.3 million to the champion of the inaugural Women's Champions Cup at Emirates Stadium.
- FIFA created the Champions Cup as an intercontinental championship to build on regional competitions, intended as an annual event except in Club World Cup years.
- The tournament's funding shows the total fund of $3.9 million split among the six confederations, with the beaten finalist receiving $1,000,000, losing semifinalists $200,000 each, and Auckland United and Wuhan Chegu Jiangda $100,000 each.
- FIFA secretary general Mattias Grafström said the $2.3 million payout next week is "a clear statement of the belief in women's club football," while FIFA hailed it as the highest single prize ever, surpassing Arsenal's $1.8 million UEFA Women's Champions League win.
- A global broadcast partner wasn't announced until two weeks ago, when DAZN stepped in, and London was chosen after Arsenal's league match complicated U.S. hosting despite NWSL's offer.
