U.S. soccer has agreed to an equal pay deal for men and women, in a major development

The U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) and the US women’s national team players association (USWNTPA) and the United States National Soccer Team Players Association (USNSTPA) have signed an equal pay deal.

It will see equal pay for male and female players for games and World Cup prize money.

In a bid to cement a global standard, US soccer will be “the first Federation in the world to equalize FIFA World Cup prize money”

“This is a truly historic moment, these agreements have changed the game forever here in the United States and have the potential to change the game around the world…
“US Soccer and the USWNT and USMNT players have reset their relationship with these new agreements and are leading us forward to an incredibly exciting new phase of mutual growth and collaboration as we continue our mission to become the preeminent sport in the United States.”
US Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone’s statement

In a historic accomplishment, U.S. Soccer, @USMNT and @USWNT have come together to agree to new collective bargaining agreements that will run through 2028 and achieve true equal pay – including equalization of World Cup prize money.

The agreement will also mean an equal portion of broadcast, partners, and sponsorship revenue will be divided into male and female teams.

It also includes significant support for child care, parental leave, and mental health support.

There is hope this move will inspire other soccer organisations around the world to do the same.

The major announcement comes six months before the USMNT is scheduled to take part in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, on November 21
