USWNT, USMNT agree to historic collective bargaining agreement with U.S. Soccer

For the past several years, Equal Pay has been a rallying cry for players on the United States Women’s National Team as well as their fans. Through many lawsuits and public statements, the USWNT have fought to receive compensation that was equal to their male counterparts. The USMNT showed their support by joining their side and offering to negotiate together in an effort to achieve equality across the board. Today, that goal has been realized.

This morning, the U.S. Soccer Federation and the players associations for the USMNT and the USMNT announced that they have agreed to a historic collective bargaining agreement that achieves equal pay for players on both senior national teams.
