Daily News | The SheBelieves Cup marks a milestone in U.S. Soccer’s new equal pay deals with its players
“We also believe so much in the women’s team; we believe in the whole premise of equal pay, and ultimately, that was a big driving force for us,” he said. “They said equal pay for men and women was not possible, but that did not stop us and we went ahead and achieved it.”Once the FIFA prize money goes into the pot, the U.S. Soccer Federation takes its 10% first. The remaining 90% is split evenly between the men’s and women’s unions.
In 2019, the bonus payout for each player on the women’s World Cup team was just under $187,000. In 2015, it was around $75,000. As usual, there are likely to be critics of the setup. But something for those to keep in mind while judging the numbers is that if the shared prize pot structure had been in effect for 2018 and ‘19, the men would have contributed zero.
That wasn’t the point of this, multiple sources assured The Inquirer. The point was to get the biggest checks possible for all players, and to break down some of the walls between the men’s and women’s programs.
