Women's Sports Revenue to Surpass £1.8bn by 2025

The global revenue from elite women's sports is projected to surpass £1.8bn by 2025, with commercial income leading the charge, according to Deloitte's report. Despite the financial growth, FIFA's annual report highlights the vast pay disparities in women's football, where the average salary is $10,900, skewed by elite clubs like those in Tier 1. These top clubs offer an average salary of around $24,030, with some players earning up to $120,000, while Tier 2 and Tier 3 clubs fall significantly below these figures. Women's football faces challenges in attendance, with Tier 1 teams averaging 1,713 fans, indicating room for growth in viewership. FIFA's report underscores the need for longer contracts to provide players with stability. Strategic investments are crucial for sustaining growth in women's sports, as major events continue to drive visibility and participation.
