It isn't because each country has its own laws on how much it pays
its Men's and Women's National Teams. If you are going to compare FIFA with the NFL, then the way NFL teams pay their players would be based on the state laws of where their HQ resides. I say that because the way England pays their teams is not the same as Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, the US, Australia, Brasil, the US, Canada, or any of the other countries out there that have both teams.
The only similarity that may exist between FIFA and the NFL is that FIFA has already pre-determined how much each participating country receives depending on where they finish in the FIFA World Cup. Notice I said "country" and not players because FIFA sends the money directly to the federation.
"Victory bonus: FIFA pays $4 million to the winner of the Women’s World Cup (the runner-up gets $2.6 million), money sent directly to the winning federation. U.S. Soccer, as it does with the men’s team, funnels the bulk of that money back to the players who won it: this year, that means each member of the U.S. team can expect a winning share between $110,000 and $120,000."
Ultimately, the player's contract with the federation will determine how much (if any) of the FIFA bonus ends up in his/her paycheck. Since each country has different labor laws, then it will vary from country to country.
