The global footballers’ union FIFPRO has called on the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to eliminate disparities between men’s and women’s football by ensuring equal conditions, rules, and prize money. The appeal comes ahead of the Women’s Asian Cup, set to begin in March 2026 in Australia. In December last year, FIFPRO sent a letter to the AFC signed by players from seven of the twelve participating teams, requesting that 30 percent of the prize money be distributed directly among players.
FIFPRO also submitted a four-point framework aimed at accelerating professionalism in women’s football. According to its report titled “Opportunities of the AFC Women’s,” the upcoming tournament could generate around 82.4 million US dollars, marking a new milestone for women’s football in Asia. The report highlights that many female players in the region still face low pay and limited access to medical and professional support.
FIFPRO’s Asia-Oceania Secretary General Shoko Suji stated that the 2026 Women’s Asian Cup could serve as a defining opportunity to set new standards for valuing and supporting female athletes.
