U.S. Soccer wants income info on USWNT players

U.S. Soccer is seeking the disclosure of all soccer-related income over the past five and a half years from the 28 players in the women's national team player pool who filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against the federation earlier this year.

Lawyers for the federation filed the motion for disclosure Monday, the same day U.S. Soccer held a press conference to introduce Vlatko Andonovski as the new coach of the women's national team.

U.S. Soccer argues that the disclosures, which would cover income from corporate sponsorships and professional teams outside the United States, are relevant to the lawsuit.
