This week a celebration was held to mark 100 days until the FIFA Women's World Football Cup kicks off across New Zealand and Australia. If this was the Men's World Cup, would there be more fuss? Inevitably.
Women players have been fighting hard for equal pay and recognition. Last month FIFA announced a tripling of prize money this year for Women’s World Cup teams and committed to equal World Cup prize pots with men by 2026.
Former New Zealand striker Sarah Gregorius says it’s a step in the right direction. She’s now the Director of Global Policy & Strategic Relations with the players’ union FIFPRO in Amsterdam and has been a strong parity advocate for the women’s game in New Zealand and on the world stage.
