Women’s footballers to receive minimum salaries as part of Karen Carney review

An independent review into women’s football has been published recommending how to best capitalise on the Lionesses’ Euro2022 success

A minimum salary could be introduced in the Women’s Super League by 2025-26 as part of wide-ranging recommendations made by an independent review into the future of women’s domestic football.

A major review chaired and published by former England international Karen Carney has called for significant reform of the women’s domestic game in the UK, including for the professionalisation of the Women’s Super League and Women’s Championship.

A new dedicated broadcast slot to be allotted for women’s football and the redirection of men’s FA Cup prise money have also been advised.

The professionalisation of women’s football in the top two tiers of the English game would see operating standards raise, including the introduction of a minimum salary into the WSL by 2025/26.
