The United States Soccer Federation has reached milestone agreements to pay its men’s and women’s teams equally, the first of their kind in the sport.The announcement on Wednesday ended years of acrimonious negotiations with unions for both teams and followed a high-profile push by players on the women’s team, which unlike the men’s team has been dominant in international tournaments, for pay parity.A $26m settlement in a gender discrimination lawsuit brought by some players in 2019 was contingent on reaching labor contracts that equalised pay and bonuses between the two teams. The new contracts extend through December 2028.
