Lionesses To Pocket Just 11% Of What England’s Men’s Team Would Get For Winning Euros

Lionesses To Pocket Just 11% Of What England’s Men’s Team Would Get For Winning Euros

England will face Germany in the final of the Euros on Sunday.

Members of the England women’s team squad will each get a bonus of £55,000 if they manage to win the Euros. 

Though not a small amount, it is only a tiny portion of the £460,000 bonus the men would have pocketed had Gareth Southgate’s side won the 2020 Euros last summer. 

The men's got £300,000 just for reaching the final but were unable to add to their bonus after losing against Italy on penalties in what was a heartbreaking night for the Three Lions at Wembley. 

In comparison, the Lionesses who play all six matches will get £2,000 per game and will see them pocket £67,000 if they manage to win the final on Sunday, which is also being held at Wembley. 

This prize package was agreed with the FA prior to the tournament getting underway.

Despite the bonus being much lower than the men’s, some are believed to have described the figure as life changing due to the pay gap being even bigger at club level. 

On average, the salary in the Women’s Super League is only £30,000 a year, a hundredth of the £3 million than many Premier League stars take home. 

Since the news broke about the bonus gap, Women in Sport released a statement questioning the large gap between men’s and women’s. 

They said: “Why shouldn’t we ask for equal prize money and pay? We are already seeing this across tennis and cricket.

“This expresses and demonstrates the value that these teams bring to sport. Increased investment is vital across every level of women’s sport.

“For girls to realise their aspirations they need a place to do this on their doorsteps. This should be the legacy of the Euros.”

The Lionesses are one game away from glory after a more than convincing 4-0 win over the second ranked team in the world, Sweden in the semis.

Up next for Sarina Wiegman’s side is Germany, who managed to beat France 2-1 to earn the right to face England in the final. 

Former Lionesses boss Phil Neville has heaped praise on the team and his successor. 

He said: “I don't think I have ever seen a team approach a major tournament and basically destroy every team that comes in their path.

“Seeing them with a smile on their faces, seeing them play with freedom, seeing those players play to their absolute maximum of their ability, I think it's a brilliant thing.”
