The recent surge in visibility for women's football, notably spurred by the successful Women's European Championships in 2022, has led to increased commercial opportunities for female athletes. A record number of attendees witnessed the final, reflecting growing interest. However, disparities in pay remain stark: while Premier League players earn about £60,000 per week, WSL players average only £900. This financial gap underscores the need for sponsorships and income diversification, crucial for many athletes' living standards, as global average salaries for professional female footballers hover around £8,400.
The last two years have seen the profile of women's football and the commercial value of female footballers increase rapidly.
Attendances across the women's game are on the rise, with the Women's European Championships in 2022 acting as a catalyst for this growth.
The average wage of a Premier League player is approximately 60,000 per week, while a WSL player earns an average of 900 per week.
Major brands are beginning to increase their stake in the women's game, but pay disparities between men and women's footballers remain significant.
