Meanwhile, the 16 teams that do not advance to the second round are guaranteed $1.56 million each after their elimination from the competition, with each player earning at least $30,000 during the one-month competition.president Gianni Infantino said the effort of the football body was to ensure the raising of the level of women’s football.
