In 2009, the annual average wage in Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) was $32,000. Salaries for players might fluctuate (for example, Marta would have earned $400,000 during the previous three seasons, 2009-2011). The NWHL was founded in 2015 with the goal of being the first professional women's hockey league to pay its players a wage. As of February 2017, all of the teams in the league were required to pay their players. The average salary was $70,000.
The WNBA has 12 teams and an average salary of $75,000 per year. While this is a good wage, many players come from low income families and some have multiple jobs to make ends meet.
A player on a women's national team can expect to earn between $150,000 and $500,000 over the course of a season. International players may be paid more since they don't have to pay taxes on their earnings. A few players have even been given contracts worth $1 million or more.
Men's professional soccer players in the US typically earn around $60,000 per year. Some players make much more than this while others make far less. It depends on several factors including but not limited to how well they do in competitions, whether they play overseas, etc.
Women's pro soccer was started much later than men's pro soccer. This means that there are less opportunities for women to make money playing soccer.
"The average looks to be over $60,000 per player, with many players making far more" (Robert B., Men's vs. Women's professional soccer salary). According to the graph above, the victorious men's team (Germany) of the 2014 FIFA World Cup received more than 17 times the prize money as the winning women's team (USA).
However, there are several factors that may affect how much individual players make. Country of origin and age group can both have an impact on earnings; for example, many young players from Europe go into employment instead of trying to make it in football. Also, some clubs can offer much more money than others; this comes down to popularity and ability to generate revenue (for examples, see Marbellous or Lewandowski).
In conclusion, the average salary for a European soccer player is over $60,000 per player.
