As reported by Oddspedia, the financials behind the Women’s World Cup highlights the continued pay gap between men and women’s squads.
USWNT may have won a lawsuit against the USSF (US Soccer Federation), resulting in female national team players now being paid the same as their male counterparts, but the report shows that pay inequality still exists very much so in soccer.
Stand out lines:
United States
Women’s World Cup Team Average Salary: $232,729
