Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva called for women’s footballers to earn higher wages as Brazil prepares to host the 2027 Women’s World Cup. Lula blamed gender bias and sexism for the pay gap between male and female players, urging the tournament to serve as a catalyst for greater equality in the sport. A December survey by FIFPRO found that two-thirds of women’s national team players earn less than $20,000 per year, underscoring ongoing financial insecurity and structural disparities in the women’s game. #Lula #WomensFootball #GenderEquality #Brazil #WomensWorldCup #EqualPay #FIFPRO
