CHThe Swiss national football team (Nati) has reached the Women’s World Cup quarterfinals, which is significant for the Swiss Football Association (SFV) financially. The team’s performance impacts the association’s finances, as they will now receive additional prize money. However, the exact amount remains uncertain due to ongoing tax issues related to wages paid during the tournament. The U.S. does not uniformly tax these wages, with California imposing a 12% rate on them. The SFV received $9 million for qualifying, plus $1.5 million for preparation, and expects further funds if they advance further. While the players’ motivation is primarily sports-related, the financial benefits for the association could be substantial.
