LFG: When the USWNT wins, we ALL WIN!! 🥳

@ussoccer and @uswnt players have agreed to settle the EQUAL PAY lawsuit‼️

Under the terms of the agreement, the athletes will receive $24 million and a pledge from the federation to equalize pay for the men’s and women’s national teams.

The 28 U.S. women’s national team players who sued U.S. Soccer for pay discrimination in 2019 have reached a proposed settlement with the federation on Tuesday morning.  As a result of the settlement, pay for the men’s and women’s national teams will be equalized by the federation moving forward.

Players will receive $22 million + $2 million going into a fund for "post-career goals and charitable efforts." 

The settlement is contingent on the ratification of a new contract between U.S. Soccer and the players’ union for the women’s team. When finalized, it will resolve all remaining claims in the gender discrimination lawsuit the players filed in 2019.

While that CBA still needs to be completed, the federation has promised equal pay between the men’s and women’s national senior teams in the future, for friendlies, tournaments, and World Cup play.
