The Lionesses' success 'is going to mean more and more success in terms of the women getting equal pay and better benefits', a lawyer who helped the US women's football team secure equal pay says
Lionesses will have ‘significant’ bargaining power on equal pay after World Cup, says lawyer
Nicole Saharsky said “the tide has turned” in the pay dispute, and footballing authorities would be “well served” in not limiting its investment in the women’s game given England’s success. England will play Spain in the final for their share of an increased prize pot of $110 million – significantly less than the $440 million Fifa awarded at the 2022 men’s competition in Qatar.
Ms Saharsky, who is a partner at global law firm Mayer Brown, continued: “I think that for many years, there was a perception by the Federation’s and from Fifa that the women’s sport was just not going to make as much money as the men’s sport or get the global attention of the men’s sport.“The Euros got incredible viewership, got incredible ticket sales – the Lionesses have been selling out Wembley Stadium.
