A new pay deal for Australia's national women's football team is being widely hailed as a landmark moment in women's sport.

On Wednesday, Football Federation Australia is expected to announce the Matildas will be paid the same as their male counterparts, the Socceroos.

Under the agreement, the pool of money for the Matildas and Socceroos would be equal - with all commercial revenue brought in by both sides split evenly. “This is the result of a long term commitment strategy and advocacy by the players themselves through the PFA, who've done a marvellous job."Foster said the new arrangement should mean the Matildas are given the same flight entitlements, medical resources and investment in camps as the Socceroos.

Matildas to get pay equal to Socceroos under landmark dealThe Matildas have reportedly secured a landmark deal to earn as much as the Socceroos. Good on them. As long as there's reward for return and that is bums on seats and eyes on TV, they deserve every dollar. They still can't beat under 15s boys team, why don't they get paid too?

Matildas sign historic equal pay dealFor the first time in world football, the Socceroos and Matildas will earn the same pay packets as part of a landmark pay deal. What a load of crap - it’s like reserves at Braybrook being paid the same as AFL Richmond 1sts. Apples with mushrooms. That’s great...the women deserve equal pay considering they are far more highly ranked than the guys It’s probably the right decision, after all, the crowd sizes are similar.

Socceroos, Matildas on course for equal pay as part of new CBA dealAustralia's male and female international footballers are on track to receive equal pay as part of a new collective bargaining agreement. How has this taken so long? Seriously, about bloody time.🙄 Where's the money coming from? Men's football is the most popular game for fans and players in the world. To make it to the top league a man has to be better than millions of amateur and pro players. Women's soccer is a second tier sport. Thousand play not millions. But pay them a decent wage for sure.
