The U.S. women's national team has had a settlement with the U.S. Soccer Federation regarding working conditions approved by a federal judge, providing a victory within a larger battle for equal gender treatment.
As a result of the agreement, the USWNT will receive improved charter flights for travel, venue selection, the number of support staff and hotel accommodations to better match what the men's team has long enjoyed.
But the fight for improved pay remains ongoing, as the USWNT will appeal a previous ruling by judge R. Gary Klausner that said they were not entitled to backpay nor a higher rate of compensation under the Equal Pay Act.
