The a

On May 18, it announced separate collective bargaining agreements (CBAs), which are legal contracts bet

132、ween the federation and the soccer players unions. The contracts will last through 2028.The deals grew partly out of a push by players on the more successful womens team, such as stars Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe.

133、soccer players get paid the same.“I feel a lot of pride for the girls who are going to see this growing up and recognize their value rather than having to fight for it.

136、uit against the federation. They asked a U.S. court to force the federation to stop treating women unfairly.Perhaps the biggest sticking point in the negotiations was World Cup prize money paid out by FIFA, the governing body of international soccer. While the U.S, women have been hugely successful

137、internationally, differences in FIFA prize money meant the women took home far less than the men. American women received a $110, 000 bonus for winning the 2019 World Cup. The U.S. men would have received $407, 000 if they had won in 2018.The unions have agreed to pool FIFAs payments to them for men

138、s and womens World Cup tournaments for 2022, 2023, 2026 and 2027. This means they will combine the total money into one pot, then each player will get matching game appearance fees.
