FIFA prez sees bigger boost to WC prize money

PASADENA, Calif. -- A month after pledging to double the prize money for the 2023 Women's World Cup to $60 million, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said Saturday that he believes the organization will exceed that goal.

"We have until 2023 to discuss about the prize money," Infantino said. "I think we need to market it as well in a certain way. I'm very confident, I'm sure we can go higher than doubling."

On vacation in California, Infantino spent Saturday as part of the largest domestic crowd to watch the United States women's national team play since 2015.
