Morgan says the U.S. women's national team needs to make sure players aren't losing any compensation they currently receive under U.S. Soccer's identical contract proposals for both the men's and women's teams. But the governing body also said it would refuse to agree to a deal in which World Cup prize money is not equalized. Last week, the federation asked the men’s union to voluntarily equalize World Cup bonus money paid to the federation by FIFA. FIFA awarded $400 million in prize money for the 32 teams at the 2018 men’s World Cup, including $38 million to champion France. The U.S. women split $862,500 for making the roster and $2.53 million for winning the 2019 World Cup, which came to $147,500 per player.
