The American Football Association balances wages between men and women

For the first time, footballers receive the prize money that men receive for the finals. US Soccer is thus the first in the world of football to offer and the first association to equalize rewards.

“This is a historic moment,” said Cindy Barlow Cohn, president of American Soccer. “These deals have changed football in the United States forever, and could change the rest of the football world.”

In February of this year, it was announced that American football would “be committed to promoting equality in football.” At that point, the proper financial arrangements should still be made in a collective labor agreement. The American soldiers got their way with this confirmation after a long war with the Union.

The women’s team, led by star player Megan Robino, competed with the American football team. They went to court, but two years ago they rejected the $ 66 million claim. After many years of legal battle, the two sides found each other. “We have resolved our long-running equal pay dispute,” American Football said in a statement in February.

The United States is the most successful country to have won four world titles in women’s football. The American footballers extended their World Cup title in 2019 by beating the Netherlands 2-0 in the final. They have also been at the top of the world rankings for some time. The American men’s team is less likely to win, but the men are still being paid better.
