""But these days they can play football quite well," Hoeneß said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). "Unfortunately, you can't make money from women's football in Germany, but you lose a lot of money. Even the small stadium in the campus is rarely sold out. I laugh my head off at the idea of equal pay. Equal pay would also mean equal income. But you can't make money with women's football in Germany.""
"Surely, Hoeneß could have phrased this more delicately, but the finances are a large part of the equation and it tough to imagine the salaries for women start to approach the realm of craziness that the men have achieved. Some clubs are investing into their programs for the women and that has likely been bolstered by the great crowds worldwide on the international stage."
Uli Hoeneß questioned the financial viability of women's football in Germany, noting a stadium purchase for the women's team and persistently low attendance that limits revenue. He stated that women's matches often lose money and described equal pay as unrealistic given current income shortfalls. Some clubs are increasing investment in women's programs, buoyed by strong international crowds and events. Growth will require fans to allocate money and time to support additional teams. Financial sustainability depends on increased attendance, sponsorship, and broader fan engagement.
