On November 20, the FIFA World Cup 2022 will begin. The massive competition will feature 32 nations competing for the grand prize. The amount of money involved is enormous since it is the largest single sports quadrennial event in the world.

FIFA, the world’s governing body of sport, has set aside $440 million for the Qatar World Cup, the marquee event’s 22nd edition. This is an increase of $40 million from the previous year. $358 million was up for grabs during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Aside from the winning team, each of the competing teams gets something for reaching the finals.

What is the difference between the World Cup 2022 prize money and the Women’s World Cup 2023?

The 2023 Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand will provide a total prize pool of $60 million, according to FIFA.

The prize money for the Qatar 2022 Men’s World Cup is therefore more than seven times the amount provided for the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
