So I like how the table's quickly turned with who was doing the question asking here. But because it's you, so last cycle, I was very, very lucky to be involved with Feef Pro. So that is the global player union. So I was on, I was a part of a group of players that Thank you so much. May surprise some people, but we hadn't had single occupancy rooms before.

We had not been guaranteed business or first class travel, certain conditions, certain quality of a hotel, location of the training pitches. All of this was something that hadn't been in as policy and protocol to match what the men were having. Prize money was a big conversation. The armband was a conversation. And so with prize money, we did get this guarantee. There's two parts to it.

One is, so the prize money did increase. But what was more important was that how would that money actually get into the hands of the players? Because like you say, the money goes to the federations and then depending on if the teams have a collective bargaining agreement, they may see a percentage of that. So with New Zealand, we have a CBA that is equal to our men's team.

We have a players association that is unbelievable. And so we were guaranteed a large percentage of that prize money. So what this conversation was about was making sure that every player was going to get at least $30,000, depending on how the team did, and that that money would—each federation would guarantee that that would go to the players, right?

Since then, I haven't read that that was able to be followed through in a way that we know that that actually happened. So I do believe that this is a conversation that needs to continue.

And then also the president of FIFA did say, okay, well, we're not going to make prize money equal for 2023, but we will make large steps to have equal prize money for the next cycle, which is quickly approaching. Yeah. So I will be on the edge of my seat and advocating in any way I can, whether I am playing or not, to make sure that these conversations continue.
