The US Women's National Soccer Team has settled a lawsuit they filed against their employer last year, resolving the World Cup champions' claim on unequal working conditions.

Under the settlement, which was outlined in court documents filed Tuesday, the US Soccer Federation agreed to adopt and enforce several policies providing charter flight resources, hotel accommodations, playing venues and field surfaces, as well as support services, that are equal to the men's team.

“We are pleased that the USWNT Players have fought for – and achieved – long overdue equal working conditions," Molly Levinson, a spokesperson for the players, said in a statement to BuzzFeed News.
