Before people lose their minds


As a result of the equal pay agreement forged earlier this year between the United States Soccer Federation (USSF), the United States Women’s National Team Players Association (USWNTPA) and the United States National Soccer Team Players Association (USNSTPA), the men and women’s teams split all World Cup earnings.


Under the landmark agreement, US Soccer became “the first Federation in the world to equalize FIFA World Cup prize money” awarded to the teams for participating in World Cups.

That means the USWNT will earn $6.5 million for the US Men’s National Team’s (USMNT) exploits thus far in Qatar. If the team defeats the Netherlands in the round of 16 and reaches the quarterfinals or beyond, that figure will continue to increase.


In contrast, the USWNT earned $6 million in total for its successive World Cup wins in 2015 and 2019 – $2 million in 2015 and $4 million in 2019.


The 2019 Women’s World Cup total prize money was $30 million, doubled from the $15 million in 2015.


The US jcocer equal pay agreement means the USMNT will pick up half of the USWNT’s prize money in the future.

The women should be paid based on what they generate. They won't get paid as much as men and that's completely fine. :yeshrug:
Pretty much. It's insane to me that they were awared equal rights to the men's purse when they don't bring in the eyeballs that the men's tournament does. If it was the other way around I'm sure not all women would agree.
