Surprisingly, she had leap-frogged over Serena Williams and many other big-name athletes too. In recent times, she has been in the limelight for different reasons.

Crediting Morgan and Rapinoe’s efforts, both of them have ensured a major payday for their women’s soccer squad if they manage to lift the World Cup. Each player will cash out $270,000 if they manage to win the prestigious tournament for the third time in a row.

Salaries see a major hike at the upcoming Women’s World Cup

Without a doubt, Alex Morgan and her squad are clear favorites to win the upcoming World Cup. But the USWNT has quite a challenging group to start with. Placed in Group E, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Vietnam are the other members of the group. In case they manage to win it, this will be the fourth World Cup for the American Women’s soccer team.

A report recently revealed the salaries that the players will receive for playing in the World Cup. During the group stage, each and every player will receive $30,000. In case they qualify for the Round of 16, they will cash out $60,000. A quarterfinal spot will earn the players $90,000. A #4 place finish in the tournament will guarantee them a $165,000 cheque.

Every player from the #3 team will take home $180,000. The loser of the final will get $195,000. And at last, the World Champions will cash out $270,000. In most cases, these numbers will exceed the weekly salaries of the players at their domestic soccer clubs. Without a doubt, it is quite a breakthrough moment for women’s soccer.
