This story is from last week, but I didn't realize this was a thing for the Women's World Cup -- FIFA awards U.S. clubs nearly $800K from Women’s World Cup Solidarity Fund A total of 59 U.S. based youth and pro soccer clubs were awarded compensation from the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup Solidarity Fund. The fund awards payments to clubs across the world as a reward for helping develop players who represented their respective nations on the global stage. Nearly $8.5 million was distributed in total for the 2019 Women’s World Cup. Leading all countries around the world, U.S. clubs garnered a total of $789,960, spread across all nine National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) clubs and 50 youth organizations. www.soccerwire.com/news/fifa-awards-u-s-youth-and-pro-clubs-nearly-800k-from-womens-world-cup-solidarity-fund/

However, this may be more funding. In any case, great for the game.

This is the first time they are doing it. Tophat, UFA, AFC Lightning all got money. There was not a lot of money given to most of the youth clubs. A fair amount went to NWSL clubs. Maybe someone can explain that...what is considered the end of the development for this money? 23 years old? 25? Never?
