Players were fighting for rights over issues such as travelUSWNT still seeking equal pay with men’s playersThe US women’s national soccer team have reached an agreement with the US Soccer Federation over equal work conditions with their male counterparts.
The players were seeking the same conditions as the US men’s team in areas such as travel, hotel accommodation, the right to play on grass rather than artificial turf, and staffing. Tuesday’s settlement also means the USWNT can now proceed with their appeal over equal pay after a judge surprisingly threw out their case in May.
