Infantino urges women's soccer to "pick battles" on path to equality amid calls for equal World Cup prize money

The 2023 Women's World Cup generated over $570 million in revenue and broke even financially according to FIFA.
There is currently a large gender pay gap, with women earning only 25 cents for every dollar earned by men in World Cup prizes.
Infantino dismissed equal prize money as a "slogan" and said women need to "convince men" on achieving equality.
He credited the expanded 32-team Women's World Cup format for its sporting and financial success.
Women's soccer leaders and players criticized Infantino's comments as patronizing and showing lack of commitment to equality.
