While FIFA doubled the amount women will earn from the last tournament, the governing body still awards far more for the men's edition
U.S. women's national team star Alex Morgan has slammed FIFA for an insufficient increase in prize money for the 2019 Women's World Cup.
Football's governing body announced last month that prize money for the 2019 tournament in France would be doubled from the 2015 edition in Canada.
Tournament winners will earn $4 million (£3.1m), double the amount from 2015, and overall prize money has gone up from $15m to $30m (£23.4m).
