The U.S. Women’s National Team victorious in equal pay battle with 'historic' new agreement
USWNT Players Association President Becky Sauerbrunn — one of the players who filed the initial federal wage complaint lawsuit against the soccer federation over equal pay, which was ultimately settled in Feb.
Sauerbrunn added, “The gains we have been able to achieve are both because of the strong foundation laid by the generations of WNT players that came before the current team and through our union’s recent collaboration with our counterparts at the USNSTPA and leadership at U.S. Soccer.” Despite the USWNT’s World Cup-winning success , the women’s team was paid significantly less than the USMNT, even though the men’s team hasn’t finished better than 8th place in nearly 30 years.
