LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A new FIFA plan to distribute Women's World Cup prize money directly to players will help level the playing field for competitors, United States forward Alex Morgan said on Tuesday, ahead of her fourth appearance at the tournament.
Each player at the World Cup, which kicks off on July 20 in Australia and New Zealand, will be guaranteed at least a $30,000 payday in a FIFA first to distribute prize money to individuals rather than federations.
