The United States Soccer Federation (USSF) announced on Wednesday a “historic” agreement with players’ associations that formalizes equal pay between men’s and women’s national teams.
The achievements of this collective agreement “are a testament to the incredible efforts of the WNT players (U.S. women’s soccer team) on and off the field,” said captain Becky Sauerbrunn.

The agreement, which runs until 2028, also seeks to improve “the health and safety of players, data privacy and the need to balance responsibilities between club and country,” the USSF said.
Female star Megan Rapinoe, with a reputation as a tough advocate for social justice causes, including equal pay and conditions for her and her teammates, she said in February that a deal would “change US Soccer for the better.”
Central defender Walker Zimmerman, a member of the men’s team players’ association, he welcomed the deal and said he hoped “this will wake others up to the need for this type of change.”
“They said equal pay between men and women was not possible, but that didn’t stop us, we went ahead and did it,” he added.
💬 “Thank you to all who have come before and who are here now. Incredibly proud today,” said Megan Rapione after seeing how equal pay has been achieved between the US men’s and women’s soccer teamshttps://t.co/Xu5Rw3zQfn
