The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup is in full force, and we have a little more than three weeks of exciting matches as women’s soccer teams from around the world compete for the prestigious title. The tournament takes place every four years, and this year’s games started July 20, in the Oceanic regions of Australia and New Zealand, with the final match exactly a month later on August 20.

Some of the best players are still not paid anything close to their male counterparts.
