US Soccer's 2026 World Cup Pool Splits $12.8M Evenly By Gender
The 2022 CBA pools all FIFA prize money for both rosters, runs through 2028, and covers 2027's tournament too.
- 2022 CBA made US Soccer first federation to equalize men's and women's World Cup prize money.
- Non-World Cup tournaments also split total FIFA prize money equally when both teams compete.
- Same formula applies to 2026 men's and 2027 women's World Cup rosters through 2028.
Why it matters: A union contract, not the market, now decides who keeps what a player's own game earned.
