The U.S. Soccer Federation agreed to pay its men and women teams equally, making the American national governing body the first in the sport to promise the two genders equal money.
The federation declared separate aggregate bargaining arrangements through December 2028 with the associations for both national teams.
The deals developed somewhat out of a move by players in the more effective women’s team, including stars like Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe, who were at the very front of the orientation value battle while driving the group to a Women’s World Cup title in 2019.
The battle turned out to be such a lot of a piece of the group’s story that serenades of “Equal pay! Equal pay!” rose from the crowd as U.S. players celebrated winning the title in France.
Morgan and Rapinoe may as yet be recipients of the beneficiaries, however the following Women’s World Cup is in 2023 and the makeup of the team will have changed by then.
“I feel a lot of pride for the girls who are going to see this growing up, and recognize their value rather than having to fight for it. However, my dad always told me that you don’t get rewarded for doing what you’re supposed to do and paying men and women equally is what you’re supposed to do,” Margaret Purce said.
“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.”
