Women athletes aren't earning enough, even as fan interest surges
Briefly

We still have women who need support. A new program, with sponsor Visa, will help BayFC players earn appearance fees, maximizing their income opportunities.
Historically, players have struggled to earn maximum appearance fees due to time constraints. The new Visa deal allows earning through social media appearances to enhance personal brands.
The new collective bargaining agreement offers NWSL players higher pay but phase-in over time. Appearance fees remain essential for increasing player compensation.
Minimum salaries in NWSL will rise to $48,500 by 2025, ultimately reaching $82,500 by 2030, addressing the financial challenges faced by players.
