I declare in advance that I am by no means harsh on the Chinese women's football team, I just want to tell you something other than "women's football girls fighting".
The average income of female internationals mentioned in my title is the highest in the world, referring to the median income of members of the Chinese women's national football team.
I also know that there are many women's football sports members in the women's football world who have higher incomes than Chinese women's football internationals, such as Wang Shuang's teammate Diani, who used to be in Paris Saint-Germain, who can get an annual salary of 360,000 euros in Paris Saint-Germain; but in summary, the average income of Chinese women's football internationals is definitely the highest in the world women's football team.
First of all, in June 2021, that is, at the beginning of this month, FIFA released the global women's football business report, which shows the club's operating expenditure, and the Chinese women's football club operating expenditure is the world's first.
(Women's Football Business Report released by FIFA)
It is said that the Chinese Super League is a golden dollar football, in fact, many people do not know that the Chinese women's football league is the world's first women's football league in terms of operating expenses.
So is FIFA's information accurate or inaccurate?
It should be said that it is still accurate.
Because according to the disclosure of Liu You, the general manager and head coach of Changchun Volkswagen Excellence Women's Football, in an interview with reporters, we know that the annual investment of Chinese women's football clubs is basically more than 20 million, which is consistent with the operating costs announced by FIFA.
And Coach Liu You also disclosed that 20 million is only an average, and some teams can even invest 40 million a year, and even some teams have a bonus of up to 1 million.
At the same time, according to Liu's guidance, the salary of many elite players of the Chinese women's football team in the club can reach 2 million yuan, even if the annual salary of the general main force is more than 1 million; 2 million yuan is equivalent to 260,000 euros, and 1 million yuan is 130,000 euros, which is really not less in the women's football world.
So is Liu guiding this data accurate or inaccurate?
It should be said that this is probably even the winning bonus, because according to some other media and industry insiders close to the women's football team, the annual income of the women's football international football team should be 300,000-500,000 yuan.
For example, in the match between the Chinese women's football team and the Swedish women's football team, the CCTV commentator revealed the current treatment of the women's football team in the broadcast gap, "The best in the league can get 300,000-400,000 / year, the international football players, can have 500,000 or 600,000 years, although it is still incomparable with the men's football team, but the women's football girls are still quite satisfied." And in recent years, the Chinese Football Association's competition allowance for women's football has also been increasing, and there have been 3-5 adjustments. ”
Similarly, CCTV football reporter Ai Tingting exposed some details of the women's football salary treatment in an online talk show in 2020, according to her, in 2012, the top players of the Chinese women's national football team in the club were paid about 6,000-8,000 yuan per month, and as of now (2020), the income (annual salary) of the main players of the same level of national team in the club is about 300,000-500,000.
Even 500,000 yuan, equivalent to 65,000 euros, is not less than in the women's football world.
Take Sabatino, a famous Italian international who has won two league titles, four Coppa Italia, four Super Cups, an A2 league and a Serie B title, for example, and she currently earns €30,000 a year in Fiorentina, plus a weekly allowance of €300.

And what is the income of the Japanese women's football girls who have won the Women's World Cup?
Japan's "China-Japan News" reporter revealed that even in the Kobe INACB, the highest-paid Japanese league, the monthly salary of women's football is only a few hundred thousand yen, and in Japan, it is not uncommon for ordinary company employees to get 200,000 yen a month.
"The salary of professional women's football players is roughly equivalent to the monthly income of 4,000 to 5,000 yuan in China's first-tier cities." Only top players like Aya Miyama and Hotaru Sawawa can get a salary of about 500,000 yen (about 25,000 yuan). ”
Modial Feminion, a reporter for the French newspaper Team, who once had an in-depth understanding of the development of Japanese women's football, was deeply surprised that the girls still had to do odd jobs: "The girls of TEPCO not only play football, but also work as administrative assistants. ”
The former captain of the Japanese team, Sawa Suixi, also said that many players need to work part-time during the day to subsidize their lives even if they go to the national team.
Taking the current Japanese women's football team's senior core Hasegawa As an example, foreign media show that her annual income of the Italian AC Milan women's football team is 50,000 US dollars before tax, plus the Japanese Football Association's monthly subsidy of 200,000 yen to stay abroad. After calculation, Tanigawa's current annual income should be less than 500,000 yuan.

All in all, although it is said that the Chinese Super League is a golden dollar football, the Chinese women's football league is already the world's first league in terms of operating costs; and from the horizontal comparison of the income of women's football internationals around the world, in recent years, the income of Chinese women's football international football players has basically been more than 65,000 euros, and Wang Shuang may be able to get 300,000 euros / year.
In terms of income alone, the median income of Chinese women's international footballers is already the first in the world, which means that women's football has left The Chinese men's football team far behind.
After all, there are players in the men's football world such as Messi, C Ronaldo, and Neymar with an annual income of more than 30 million euros, and the average income of the men's football world teams is also above 3 million euros, not to mention now, that is, the most popular years of Golden Dollar Football, the average income of Chinese men's football international football players does not dare to say that they can rank in the top ten in the world.
