Except the FIFA bonuses isn't the only thing the women were protesting


about because they are also protesting financial issues with US Soccer. Even though both teams are 23-men/women, there is a gender gap in pay within US Soccer. Some examples include:

Qualifying for the World Cup
Women = $37,500
Men = $108,695

Winning individual qualification games
Women = $15,000
Men = $200,000

Called up to World Cup side
Women = $37,500
Men = $68,750

All 3 are events that take place prior to the start of the actual World Cup tournament. I believe US Soccer negotiates with FIFA to determine how much money the federation will make from the tournament. So it is possible that when the federation negotiates contracts with the individual players, the pay comes from that pool of money.
