How much "bonus" can there be
The reporter noted that on the night that the Chinese women's football team won the championship, a company publicly expressed the gold reward for the women's football team.
Among them, Mengniu Dairy announced on the evening of the 6th that it would give the Chinese women's football team a cash reward of 10 million; in the early morning of the 7th, Alipay said that 13 million yuan of prize money has been put in place, of which 10 million yuan is rewarded to players and 3 million yuan is rewarded to The Coaching Team of Shui Qingxia.

It is worth noting that the well-known sports commentator Huang Jianxiang spoke on his Weibo on the evening of the 6th, calling on the Football Association to "double the bonus for women's football in accordance with the standard of men's football bonuses". This has also attracted a lot of attention.
According to beijing youth daily, after winning the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team will receive a huge prize according to the reward method previously confirmed by the Chinese Football Association, which will be higher than the prize money obtained by the Chinese men's football team in the round of 12.
According to the report, the prize money of the Chinese women's women's asian cup is likely to exceed 10 million yuan.
However, as of press time, the FOOTBALL Association has not publicly stated its position on this news.
The treatment has already been improved
In this way, after winning the Asian Cup, the income of women's football girls has also become considerable. In fact, in recent years, the income level of Chinese women's football has been different from the situation people think.
According to reports, the "10-year 1 billion women's football support plan" set up in 2019 sponsors the cause of Chinese women's football, including the national team, youth training system, and event system. The fund contributes 100 million yuan per year to achieve the most direct subsidy effect as much as possible in the form of special funds, including quarterly international football subsidies and 6 million yuan per game bonuses issued after the game.
On the evening of February 6, the Chinese women's football team won the Asian Cup for the ninth time. The picture shows the Chinese women's football team members holding the cup.
A report by The Paper in 2020 pointed out that compared with 2018, women's football in 2020 has doubled in the number of youth training centers, the total number of youth training center teams, the number of training personnel, the number of U series training periods, coach training classes at all levels, the number of training times and many other aspects.
At the same time, the treatment of women's footballers has also been greatly improved. According to the report, in 2018, the per capita training cost of the women's first team was 120,000 yuan; by 2020, this figure has reached 300,000-1 million yuan.
A report released by FIFA in May last year further proved the improvement of women's football in China. It shows that the average operating cost of Chinese women's football clubs has approached 2 million US dollars, ranking first.

Contrast from men's soccer
But why do many people still have a feeling that "women's football has been struggling hard"? This may come from the contrast with the men's football team.
From the overall situation of women's football, there is still a gap with men's football. The number of sponsors gives an intuitive feeling. Taking the information on the official website of the Football Association as an example, compared with the "partners" of the Chinese Super League with a full screen, the women's event page has only 5 logos.

First Financial Reported that even internationally, most women's football event resources are packaged and sold to sponsors as giveaways for men's football sponsorship rights.
From this point of view, the entry of capital into women's football competitions and the improvement of women's football treatment are not a bad thing. The Chinese women's football team has once again held the Asian Cup after 16 years, and the efforts and achievements of the women's football girls are worthy of this income.

In 2019, Wang Shuang, the core player of the Chinese women's football team, was enthusiastically picked up by Paris fans after losing a game.
She sighed on Weibo: "When you support the perspective of women's football, it is no longer to satirize the men's football team." When your support is to see not only us in the national team, but also other female footballers in the club, bringing them the meaning of playing, then our Chinese women's football team will be really strong in the future.
