Football: Players call for equal prize money for Women's Asian Cup

TOKYO - With the Women's Asian Cup under way in Australia, the players' union is calling on the Asian Football Confederation to assign it equal prize money to the men's version, saying the current tournament has the potential to be "the most commercially successful" edition ever.

The AFC is expected to maintain total prize money for the Women's Asian Cup through March 21 at $1.8 million, unchanged from the previous edition in 2022.
