"This blatant sexism is outdated and pay parity for our women's teams is overdue.
"Overall, the total prize money for the women's FA Cup is £309,000 which is shared by 300 teams."This compares with £15.9 million for the men's FA Cup which is shared by 735 teams.
"The FA should level up the prize money available for women's teams in the FA Cup to the level paid to the men's teams in the same competition."There’s plenty of money in the game - so let's blow the final whistle on this shameful practise."
GMB's calls follow the recent landmark settlement reached by the US Soccer Federation with members of the United States women's team in February.
Players from the US women's side received $24m (£17.7m) after a long-running legal fight centred on equal pay and working conditions.
This was followed by an announcement from the US Soccer Federation which confirmed it would pay its women's and men's national teams equally, including an equal split of World Cup prize money.
