According The Daily TelegraphSome players within the team feel that they have remained uninformed about their remuneration for the tournament, and a source tells him at the exit that the problem was reaching 'boiling point'.
Some players said it was a “distraction” with the professional players of Australia, the union of the player, refusing to provide comments because it was a “continuous matter.”
It is understood that the problem is related to the collective bargaining agreement that was signed in 2023. Under that system, the male and female teams now benefit from the same salary structure.
That agreement created a greater gender parity between Matildas and Socceroos in terms of its remuneration.

The reports claim that socceroos are also subject to the same dispute.
Football Australia said in a statement: 'We are involved in discussions on the ongoing operational execution of the CBA to continue its implementation without problems.
'Football Australia is a proud and long -standing partner of the PFA, and we continue to work together with the PFA and the players to increase the income of the game, strengthen their commercial future and provide an optimal high performance environment for our national teams .
It is said that the PFA and the FA held conversations in Sydney last week while looking to make an agreement.
But those conversations were not conclusive, which means that players are still in the dark about their profits during the next year.
According The guardianThe new agreement meant that Matildas could obtain up to $ 80,000 per year only from international matches.
It is designed to provide players with most of the income and also provides a financial incentive for players to improve, play better and continue further in tournaments.
Previously, Australia players were paid an amount established in proportion to certain levels with the main stars that pocketed the great $ 110,000 per year.
The agreement will be executed until 2027.
