The dispute caused the entire squad to sit out a game on Sunday and was an embarrassment to the South African soccer association and a country bidding to host the next Women’s World Cup in 2027.
South African soccer association president Danny Jordaan, whose organization came under stinging criticism over the last few days for not looking after its women players, conceded there was still “a massive gap” globally when it came to pay for men and women players despite world body FIFA’s efforts.
The amount of money was not the only problem that caused the South African players, who are the reigning African champions, to challenge their national association over their treatment. The players’ disgruntlement led them all to boycott Sunday’s game against Botswana, forcing officials to field a makeshift team that included a 13-year-old girl to honor the fixture. The team, which was South African by name only and made up of players brought in last-minute from local clubs, lost 5-0.
