国际足球职业联盟Fifpro对全球800多名女性足球运动员进行的调查显示，尽管女性足球产业规模正在快速扩张，但绝大多数职业球员的薪资和合同条件仍然滞后于产业发展。1根据预测，女性足球全球收入将从2024年的5.81亿美元增长到2027年的10亿美元以上，然而调查发现，仅62%的顶级联赛球员认为自己是职业球员，27%认为自己是半职业，12%认为自己是业余。1
调查揭示了球员面临的多重困境。在薪酬方面，虽然平均月薪从2017年增长至2,601美元，但中位数仅为1,669美元，不同地区差异巨大——北美球员平均月薪为6,450美元，而非洲仅为480美元。1仅三分之二的球员获得全年12个月的报酬，许多球员签订的是7至9个月合同，且24%的球员在过去两个赛季经历过迟付，42%没有获得养老金。1在顶级联赛中，虽然78%的球员拥有书面合同，82%得到俱乐部支付，但仅57%的球员认为报酬足以覆盖比赛成本。1
这些不稳定的工作条件直接影响了球员的职业规划和心理健康。调查显示，59%的受调查球员因财务原因考虑提前退役。157%的女性受调查者存在心理健康问题，其中约50%没有得到俱乐部的心理健康支持。1Fifpro主任Alex Culvin指出，"95%的产业中的球员没有按时获得报酬、签订短期合同、无12个月全额支付，处于极其脆弱和危险的环境中"。1不过，关于生育支持的情况有所改善——在2017年，49%考虑退役的球员提及想要家庭，该比例现已降至19%，这得益于国际足联2021年引入的生育假规定。1
The women's football industry is projected to grow from $581 million in 2024 to over $1 billion by 2027, yet a global survey of more than 800 female footballers by Fifpro reveals that many professional athletes are not benefiting from this expansion 1. The union found widespread challenges including low wages, insecure contracts, and mental health concerns that are driving players to consider early retirement.
Financial instability remains a critical issue for women's footballers at all levels. Fifty-nine percent of surveyed players have considered retiring early due to insufficient income, while only 62 percent of top-league athletes identify as fully professional—27 percent describe themselves as semi-professional and 12 percent as amateur 1. Although average monthly salaries have increased to $2,601 since 2017, the median remains just $1,669, with significant regional disparities; players in North America earn $6,450 monthly compared to $480 in Africa 1. Just 78 percent of top-league players have written contracts, and while 82 percent receive payment from their clubs, only 57 percent believe their compensation covers match-related expenses 1. Furthermore, only two-thirds of players are paid year-round across all 12 months, with many signing contracts for just 7 to 9 months, and 24 percent experienced late payments in the past two seasons 1.
Mental health support remains inadequate across the sport. Fifty-seven percent of female respondents reported experiencing mental health issues, yet approximately 50 percent do not receive psychological support from their clubs 1. Additionally, 42 percent of players lack access to pension schemes 1. Alex Culvin, Fifpro's director, stated that "95 percent of players in the industry are not paid on time, are on short-term contracts, and do not receive full 12-month payments, placing them in an extremely vulnerable and precarious situation" 1. The survey does show progress on work-life balance: the proportion of players citing family as a reason to retire has dropped from 49 percent in 2017 to 19 percent, a change attributed to FIFA's introduction of maternity leave provisions in 2021 1.
