U.S. Soccer reaches equal-pay pact with men's and women's national teams

The U.S. Soccer Federation reached milestone agreements to pay its men’s and women’s teams equally, making the American national governing body the first in the sport to promise both sexes matching money.

“So I’m not giving out any gold stars, but I’m grateful for this accomplishment and for all the people who came together to make it so.” “We saw it as an opportunity, an opportunity to be leaders in this front and join in with the women’s side and U.S. Soccer. So we’re just excited that this is how we were able to get the deal done,” said Walker Zimmerman, a defender who is part of the U.S. National Team Players Association leadership group.

After missing the 2018 World Cup, the men qualified for this year’s World Cup in Qatar, starting in November. The women’s team will seek to qualify this year for the 2023 World Cup, cohosted by Australia and New Zealand. Child care, covered for women for more than 25 years, will be extended to men during national-team training camps and matches.

Lion share of the governing body revenue comes from the USMNT. It is what it is and facts are facts. Performance aside the USWNT doesn’t come close to the men’s team.

... the women's soccer team should be making way more than the men's team. It should be performance based.

WNBA players should be paid the same as NBA players too then! I’m joking.

And on the sixth day the US Soccer Federation created women.

So basically the men are subsidizing the women.

US Soccer Reaches Historic Equal Pay Deal With Women's, Men's TeamsThe U.S. Soccer Federation has reached milestone agreements to pay its men’s and women’s teams equally. That makes the American national governing body the first in the sport to promise both sexes matching money. The federation has announced separate collective bargaining agreements through 2028 with the unions for both national teams. The move ends years of often acrimonious negotiations. One of the main sticking points was World Cup prize money. The unions agreed to pool FIFA’s payments for the men’s World Cup later this year and next year’s Women’s World Cup. It will also pool the 2026 and 2027 tournaments. when your means team is that shite, then yeh this makes sense

US Soccer equalizes pay in milestone with women, menThe U.S. Soccer Federation reached milestone agreements to pay its men's and women's teams equally, making the American national governing body the first in the sport to promise both sexes matching money. About time the men get an increase But the woman team already got paid more does that mean the men will get a higher pay or will the woman get a cut? Will never understand why anyone watches men's soccer at all. It's destroyed by constant dives. Women play harder and rely on their talent, not technicalities.
