Players, including Megan Rapinoe, Becky Sauerbrunn and Alex Morgan, filed a complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The U.S. Soccer Federation reached milestone agreements to pay its men's and women's teams equally, making the American national governing body the first in the sport to promise both sexes matching money.The proposed $24 million settlement between U.S. women soccer players and the sport's American governing body was given preliminary approval Thursday by a federal judge, who scheduled a Dec. 5 hearing for final approval.
The sides settled the working conditions portion in December 2020, dealing with issues such as charter flights, accommodations and playing surfaces. Klausner wrote the parties agreed that settlement funds will be distributed to players based on playing time and their lawyers anticipated requesting "no more than approximately 30% of the common fund."
