The U.S. women’s soccer team and U.S. Soccer have reached a landmark $24 million settlement, ending a years-long legal battle over equal wages. 

New York, February 23 (RHC)-- The United States women’s soccer team and U.S. Soccer have reached a landmark $24 million settlement, ending a years-long legal battle over equal wages. 

U.S. Soccer pledged to give the women’s national soccer team equal pay to the men’s team in all games and tournaments, including the World Cup.  

The women’s team filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against U.S. Soccer in 2019, denouncing the drastic difference in wages compared to their male counterparts.  They celebrated the agreement, saying: “We look forward to continuing to work together to grow women’s soccer and advance opportunities for young girls and women in the United States and across the globe.” 

The U.S. women’s soccer team has won four World Cup titles, while the men’s team has won none.
