Jose Breton—Pics Action/NurPhoto/Getty Images  by [Sean Gregory](https://time.com/author/sean-gregory/)  ## Sean Gregory Senior Correspondent Jul 11, 2023 11:00 AM UTC Every World Cup promises unity. In theory, at least. Put aside your grievances, people of the world, if for only over a month and indulge in the wonder of the beautiful game. Sounds rosy. But this notion is mostly a fantasy, especially in the women’s game. Despite progress in the United States and elsewhere on the pay-equity front, inequality persists. FIFA, for example, still gives out four times as much prize money to the men ([$440 million](https://www.nbcsports.com/soccer/news/world-cup-prize-money-table-how-much-will-each-country-earn) vs. [$110 million](https://equalizersoccer.com/2023/06/08/fifa-womens-world-cup-prize-money-increase-details-players-guaranteed-30000-usd/#:~:text=FIFA%20will%20pay%20out%20%24110,guaranteed%20a%20minimum%20of%20%2430%2C000.) for the women). Female players, it seems, never have the luxury of just sticking to sports. Here are five countries entering World Cup campaigns amid controversies. ## **Spain**  (L-R) Mapi Leon, Lola Gallardo, and Patricia Guijarro of Spain celebrate victory after the UEFA Women’s Euro England 2022 group B match between Denmark and Spain, at Brentford Community Stadium on July 16, 2022\. Leon, Gallardo, and Guijarro are among players who will not be with the Spanish team at the Women’s World Cup. Jose Breton—Pics Action/NurPhoto/Getty Images Thanks to a mutiny that first unfolded back in September, Spain will compete in the World Cup without some of its most talented players. Dissatisfied with working conditions under coach Jorge Vilda, 15 players wrote to the Spanish football federation, saying, in essence, they were resigning from the national team unless changes were made to improve [“our emotional and personal state.”](https://sports.yahoo.com/spain-womens-soccer-national-team-coach-jorge-vilda-resign-223356425.html) The federation, however, [hit back hard](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/23/sports/soccer/spain-soccer-women-jorge-vilda.html#:~:text=The%20federation%20%E2%80%9Cis%20not%20going,their%20powers%2C%E2%80%9D%20it%20said.), saying in a statement that the organization “is not going to allow the players to question the continuity of the national coach and his coaching staff, since making those decisions does not fall within their powers. The Federation will not admit any type of pressure from any player when adopting sports measures. These types of maneuvers are far from exemplary and outside the values of football and sport.” --- ### More from TIME --- **Read More:** [_Megan Rapinoe Won’t Go Quietly_](https://time.com/6293102/megan-rapinoe-world-cup-2023-interview-retirement/) For his part, Vilda said he never thought of resigning. “I don’t wish for anybody to go through what I am going through these days,” he [said](https://www.thescore.com/esp%5Ffed/news/2434691) last year. “I am deeply hurt, it’s an unfair situation nobody deserves.” In the end, three of the players who signed the letter ended up on the World Cup roster: Aitana Bonmatí and Mariona Caldentey, who play for Barcelona, and Manchester United’s Ona Batlle. Spain will face Costa Rica, Zambia, and Japan in Group C in New Zealand and will still suit up Alexia Putellas, the reigning winner of the Ballon d’Or—given annually to the world’s best player. But many marquee players—like Mapi León, from Champions League winner Barcelona—will stay home. “It will really piss me off not to go to the World Cup,” León [said](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jun/12/spain-pick-three-of-the-15-players-who-quit-national-team-last-year-for-world-cup) in March. “But my values come first.” [**_Sign up for ‘Extra Time,’ our new newsletter that will break down the biggest moments from the 2023 Women’s World Cup_**](https://cloud.newsletters.time.com/signup?nln=extra-time) ## **England** Spanish players aren’t the only ones at loggerheads with football bureaucrats. The England Football Association is [declining to give players performance bonuses](https://theathletic.com/4662688/2023/07/04/england-women-bonuses-commercial/), on top of the direct payments that FIFA is offering to players for the first time. FIFA will give every World Cup player, at a minimum, $30,000 for reaching the group stage. Players from the champion team will each receive $270,000. Meanwhile, FIFA will also make prize-money payments to national federations; teams knocked out of the group stage receive $1.56 million, while the winning team gets $4.29 million. Under the [collective-bargaining agreement](https://time.com/6178467/us-women-soccer-equal-pay-deal/) that the U.S. women’s and men’s national teams signed last September, 90% of that cash paid to the federation is split evenly between women’s and men’s players. (Under these terms, 90% of the $13 million in prize money that the U.S. men earned in 2022 for reaching the Round of 16 at the Qatar World Cup is split evenly with the women.) England, however, has thus far stuck to its stance of guaranteeing female players the direct payments only. [According to Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/37390/12916248/england-women-lionesses-considering-their-options-in-row-over-fa-bonuses-two-weeks-from-start-of-world-cup), the English team is understandably upset. England won the 2022 European Championship, a tournament that helped grow the women’s game: the Euros, hosted by England, set attendance and viewership records. [Almost 80,000 fans](https://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2022/10/international-friendly-uswnt-1-england-2-match-report-stats-standings#:~:text=Initiatives-,U.S.%20Women's%20National%20Team%20Falls%20To%20England,1%20At%20Packed%20Wembley%20Stadium&text=LONDON%20%28Oct.,friendly%20match%20in%20USWNT%20history.) filled Wembley Stadium to watch the Lionesses defeat the U.S., 2-1, in an October friendly. Women’s soccer is ascendant in England. So why would the English federation withhold World Cup prize money from its own players? Discussions between senior players on the England team and the federation are ongoing, says Sky Sports. Unless an agreement is reached before England’s first World Cup game, against Haiti on July 22, this kerfuffle could overshadow the Lionesses’ quest for their first World Cup title. Or motivate the players to further prove their worth and embarrass the powers that be. ## **Haiti**  Yves Jean-Bart, president of the Haitian Football Federation, leaves the Crois-Des-Bouquets prosecutor’s office after his hearing, accused of sexually abusing young footballers at the country’s national training centre, in Crois-Des-Bouquets, Haiti, on May 14, 2020. Jeanty Junior Augustin—Reuters While Haiti’s 2-1 victory over Chile in February, which qualified the team for its first World Cup, set off celebrations across the country, the fate of the country’s ex-soccer president remains in question. In 2020, FIFA’s ethics committee found Yves Jean-Bart guilty of sexually harassing and abusing female players, including minors, and gave him a [lifetime ban](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/nov/20/haiti-fa-president-yves-jean-bart-banned-for-life-by-fifa-over-sexual-abuse). Jean-Bart has denied the allegations, and in February 2023 the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) overturned the FIFA ban, [citing](https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/court-overturns-ban-against-former-haitian-soccer-president/) “inconsistencies and inaccuracies in the statements of the victims and witnesses presented by FIFA.” The court ruling also said that information put forward by third parties, including Human Rights Watch and world players’ union FIFPro, was not “sufficiently evidentiary.” In March, Jean-Bart’s lawyer insisted that Jean-Bart is no longer suspended, and that it’s his right to continue serving as president of Haiti’s soccer federation. In a [verdict released July 6](https://apnews.com/article/haiti-fifa-swiss-court-jeanbart-e8a1bafa5e9e8eb7d45789fcfd6f2589), the Swiss Supreme Court dismissed FIFA’s appeal of the CAS ruling. According to a spokesperson for Jean-Bart, FIFA is challenging the former president’s attempt to assume his position; Jean-Bart will not be traveling to the World Cup. **Read More:** [_How the Women’s World Cup Evolved Into What It Is Today_](https://time.com/6289539/womens-world-cup-2023-history/) ## **Canada** The Canadians won gold at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. In the semis, [they thwarted their archnemesis neighbors to the south](https://time.com/6086401/uswnt-canada-tokyo-olympics-semifinals/). A tumultuous 2023, however, has largely dimmed the glow of that victory. In February, the players threatened to strike after accusing Canada Soccer of failing to properly support them in a World Cup year. “Despite our strong track record of success and history-making achievements for more than a decade, we continued to be told that there is not enough money to fund our program and our youth teams,” the players union[ wrote on Twitter.](https://twitter.com/PlayersCanadian/status/1624160160980557826) “Now that our World Cup is approaching, the Women’s National Team players are being told to prepare to perform at a world-class level without the same level of support that was received by the Men’s National Team in 2022, and with significant cuts to our program—to simply make do with less.” In March, the players took their protests to parliament. “We as players sometimes have to make choices about which medical treatments to receive when staff physiotherapists are stretched,” Canadian midfielder Quinn[ said at a committee hearing in Ottawa](https://twitter.com/rwesthead/status/1633932247983169537). Christie Sinclair, who has scored more international goals than any player in history, said she brought the team’s concerns to former Canada Soccer president Nick Bontis, who resigned amid the dispute in late February. “The president of Canada Soccer listened to what I had to say and then later in the meeting referred back to it as, ‘What was it Christine was bitching about?'” Sinclair[ told lawmakers.](https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/christine-sinclair-insulted-ex-canada-soccer-president) (Bontis[ said](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/soccer/article-former-canada-soccer-head-quickly-apologizes-to-star-christine/) he didn’t recall using that language, but he apologized publicly. “She felt that I treated her concerns disrespectfully. I feel terrible about making her feel this way,” he said. “I’ve since communicated with Christine and her agent to apologize personally. It was a mistake. I take responsibility for it. I regret it.”) In March, the federation and team reached an interim funding agreement. But the two sides have not resolved long-term issues. Canada faces Nigeria, in Melbourne, on July 21\. The players will seek to put the tumult behind them—for now—and take home Canada’s first-ever World Cup title. **Read More:** [_Your Guide to the 2023 Women’s World Cup_](https://time.com/6287100/womens-world-cup-2023-faq/) ## **France**  France’s Women’s national football team head coach Hervé Renard and the team’s defender Wendie Renard arrive for a press conference at Stade Gabriel Montpied in Clermont-Ferrand, France, on April 6, 2023. Franck Fife—AFP/Getty Images France’s player revolt proved more successful than Spain’s. In February, France captain Wendie Renard, a star defender, said she would skip the World Cup “to protect” her mental health. In a statement, Renard [wrote](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/feb/24/france-captain-wendie-renard-womens-world-cup-preserve-mental-health): “My face may hide the pain but my heart is suffering … and I don’t want to suffer any more.” French striker Marie-Antoinette Katoto and forward Kadidiatou Diani also said they wouldn’t suit up for the World Cup. The players took issue with the leadership style of national team coach Corinne Diacre, who had stripped Renard of her captaincy in 2017 (before returning it to her in 2021). French midfielder Amandine Henry—who will miss this World Cup due to a calf injury—[said ](https://justwomenssports.com/reads/fifa-france-amandine-henry-left-off-euro-team/)the tense atmosphere caused her and other players to cry in their rooms during the 2019 tournament. After Renard made her statement, the French federation president, Philippe Diallo, formed a four-person panel to investigate the team’s culture. The panel concluded that “the malfunctions observed seem, in this context, irreversible.” Diacre was let go in March. Hervé Renard (no relation to Wendie), who led Saudi Arabia to a stunning upset victory over Argentina at the 2022 men’s World Cup in Qatar—and who won Africa Cup of Nations titles as coach of men’s teams in Zambia (2012) and Côte d’Ivoire (2015)—was hired to replace Diacre. Wendi Renard and Diani are on France’s World Cup roster. “Without unity, we can’t achieve anything – I insist on that all the time, and it’ll always be my guiding principle,” Hervé Renard [told FIFA.com](https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/en/member-associations/france/articles/herve-renard-interview-france-womens-world-cup-australia-new-zealand-2023) in a recent interview. “No one can be outside this framework, and no one is above the national team.” _TIME will be providing ongoing coverage of the 2023 World Cup, which takes place from July 20 to August 20 in Australia and New Zealand.

Being part of this journey and getting to do this in a with esteem in like in landscape that were in right now with women sports in particular women's soccer. I'm just like you're just a part of living history. Now that were openly going into the World Cup. It's about winning and winning brings you? The other things that you want is not the other way around. What a goal from Megan Rapinoe and what a celebration to go with it. Think my contributions in this world cup will look very different than past World Cups. I think I'll be much more of a player off the bench on the field and you know, much probably use more situationally. I see Myra honestly is doing whatever we need to do to win. Woman's was literally billions of dollars of Public Funding whether it's stadiums or practice facilities, whatever whatever that may be. So we're not doing like rocket science here like we're playing a sport and were able to effect positive change on the world and so many different ways and use the team and the diversity of the team. Whether that's the racial diversity, our sexuality diversity, where we come from, like, and use that as a vehicle to effect positive change on the world, could have been doing that to achieve this and to be able to go into a world cup and know that not only, of course, you're fighting to win and that's the whole point. But you know, if that's going to be, I guess it appropriately, compensated off the field as nice. I hope it feels normal for the younger ones and they should, they should be, you know, hopefully looking at those bonuses. Like, yeah, I I deserve this because I ironed it. I feel like I have like a deep responsibility to do that. I think everybody has a responsibility to do, whatever they can in the most impactful way that they can to make the world a better place. I say that all the time but I really do believe that I have a microphone for so many other things to not use it. For the things that, you know, I care about other people care about, we're sort of all in this together and as much as we can leverage, every single thing that we can make the world a better place and we're a couple place for everyone, then I'm willing to do that. I think in general the transition for me is just very much like a human rights issue cuz we're not going to be able to stop trans people from being trans. Stop anybody from being who they are. Ultimately, it's just pulling back the right for someone to make your own decision about their own body in their own life. Like, nobody else has anybody else's life. So that's the washing-up trans rights. That's racial Justice, that's all of that is, is tied into that. And I think, you know, the progress that we have made is is great. But obviously were saying that that that can roll back so we have to stay vigilant that. Panama into the path of Irma. Where do I see myself in 5 years? Obviously, the soccer part, you know, who's coming to an end. So, I have a lot more space and time and freedom to do stuff, but I have more vacations. I plan on saying, yes to almost every Everybody asked me to go on. Fashion terms of just a career. I mean, I always say I want to be a mogul but like a mogul for women sports and 44. Good for so many people and things. A reason why this version of me is here and I have this incredible privilege and platform and I hope that I can like turn that into the rocket fuel for the next phase of everything. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6293087/womens-world-cup-2023-controversies-global/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6293087/womens-world-cup-2023-controversies-global/"},"headline":"5 Controversies to Know About Ahead of the 2023 Women's World Cup","datePublished":"2023-07-11T11:00:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:42:47.520Z","description":"Female players, it seems, never have the luxury of just sticking to sports.","url":"https://time.com/6293087/womens-world-cup-2023-controversies-global/","keywords":["World Cup"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt764d5fa4e868affc/698a3e7886f68e1f666f294c/world-cup-controversies-02.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sean Gregory","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/sean-gregory/"}],"articleSection":"Sports","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt764d5fa4e868affc/698a3e7886f68e1f666f294c/world-cup-controversies-02.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"world-cup-controversies-02","caption":"Spain head coach Jorge Vildahead during the Women’s International Friendly match between Spain and USA","creditText":"Jose Breton—Pics Action/NurPhoto/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/sports/","name":"Sports"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/world-cup/","name":"World Cup"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/6293087/womens-world-cup-2023-controversies-global/","name":"5 Controversies to Know About Ahead of the 2023 Women's World Cup"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"TIME Reports: Megan Rapinoe's Next Act","description":"Megan Rapinoe's Next Act","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/QfPQ76MT/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2023-07-10T10:00:00.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/QfPQ76MT.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/6293087/womens-world-cup-2023-controversies-global/","duration":"PT4M41S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/6293087/womens-world-cup-2023-controversies-global/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
