They revealed on Sky Sports News that both sides have been paid equally in terms of match fees and match bonuses.

The full statement read: “The FA pays its women’s players exactly the same as their male counterparts for representing England, both in terms of match fees and match bonuses. This parity has been in place since January 2020”.

This has come after equal pay between genders in sport has been highlighted over recent months.

Brazil also announced earlier today that they are set to change their finances to allow equal pay between their men and women.
