England Women agree staggering Euro 2022 win bonus with the FA

England's women's team have reportedly agreed the 'most generous' bonus in their history ahead of the first game of the 2022 European Championship.

The Lionesses open the tournament with a clash against Austria on Wednesday night and will receive a healthy boost to their bank accounts if they go on to lift the trophy. The closest they have come to winning the tournament was in 2009, when they finished as runners-up.

They will have the added incentive of attempting to win a home tournament, with every game of this year's Euros taking place in England. And to add further fuel to their fire to win the competition, they will be handed a staggering bonus if they do.

According to The Telegraph, the FA will pay out £55,000 to each player in Sarina Wiegman's squad. It is described as being the highest bonus ever negotiated between the governing body and the Lionesses' players.

The £1.3m total pay-out is still less than the £5million bonus that England's men's side would have earned for winning Euro 2020. It is still the highest ever handed out to the women's team though and could see England's women take home more than £72,000 at the end of the tournament, given they also earn a appearance fee of £2,000 per match.

While the men's team donate their appearance fees to charity, the women's team tend to keep more of their bonuses due to their relatively low wages compared to their male counterparts. It is stated that they have made donations on several occasions over recent years.

The £55,000 for this summer's tournament is more than £5,000 more than the average yearly wage in the Women's Super League. That is set to act as a 'major incentive' to the team, who are said to be 'delighted' with the bonus on offer.
