In May, the U.S. Soccer Federation came to an agreement to pay the men’s and women’s teams equally.
The governing body had announced separate collective bargaining agreements through December 2028 with the men’s and women’s unions, which halted years of negotiations.
Players, including Megan Rapinoe, Becky Sauerbrunn and Alex Morgan, filed a complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in April 2016. The players sued three years later, seeking damages under the federal Equal Pay Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. They agreed in February to settle the remainder for $22 million to be split into individual amounts proposed by the players. In addition, the settlement called for the U.S. Soccer Federation to establish a fund with $2 million to benefit the players in their post-soccer careers and charitable efforts aimed at growing the sport for women.
The settlement was also contingent on the USSF reaching collective bargaining agreements to pay both men’s and women’s teams equally.t, which requires equal pay and benefits for all Team USA athletes representing the nation in global athletic competitions.
