Former England international Karen Carney has released her major review of grassroots and elite women's football, in which wide-ranging reform has been advised in order to fully capitalise on the Lionesses' Euro2022 triumph. The key calls, published a week before the start of the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, include a redirection of some of the men's FA Cup £20million prize pot. The redirection would represent a solidarity contribution that would primarily help Women's Championship clubs to meet some of the minimum standards the review sets out, including player salaries, contact time with clubs, training facilities, parental packages and union representation. Women's Championship clubs have historically struggled financially and the review highlights a lack of investment particularly in the talent pathways, with Carney pointing out the need to "kickstart" progress with a strategic partner. Asked if that could include an organisation such as the Saudi Public Investment Fund, Carney, who served as chair of the review, said that would be a decision for the new company which takes over ownership of the WSL and the Championship from 2024-25. FA Cup prize money in the men's and women's game has been a sensitive subject lately.
