there is also a clamour for Women to get the same as men playing for England well be careful what you wish for because I understand they have donated there match fees for some years now playing for nothing.
Both the England men's team and women's team are paid £2000 per England game by the FA, there has been parity for a few years. The men can obviously donate their money to charity as it's relatively small change for them.
England woman captain earns £200,000 per year.
England men's captain earns more than that in 1 week.
Average WSL salary is £47,000 per year.
Average PL salary is £8,200,000 per year.
There is obviously no comparison between the 2. The men earn a lot more because PL football brings in the money and subsidies the women's game at the big clubs. It will take years for the women's game to get closer to the men's game. This also reflects in the quality of the football, a lot of very promising women players will have left the game because of the lack of financial support/reward.
