New FIFA President Gianni Infantino called prize money for the Women's World Cup "very low" and suggested that it should be increased.
Infantino made the comments in a wide-ranging interview Wednesday with the Fox Sports 1. He said that while the prize money for the winner doubled from the 2011 Women's World Cup in Germany to last year's event in Canada, it is still "very low compared to what it could be or should be."
Infantino said it is also important to invest more in the development of the women's game, as well as bring more women into leadership positions.
