U.S. Soccer President: USWNT Paid More than Men

Jason Scott Headshot

In an open letter addressed to friends, colleagues and supporters of U.S. Soccer, U.S. Soccer Federation president Carlos Cordeiro argued that amidst the debate spurred by the Women’s National Team’s lawsuit seeking equal pay and the team’s unprecedented fourth World Cup win, there’s “confusion” about how much the Federation actually pays the men’s and women’s teams. 

Cordeiro says in his letter that an analysis of 10 years of the Federation’s financials shows that: “...separate and apart from any prize money awarded by FIFA — U.S. Soccer has, over the past decade, paid our Women’s National Team more than our Men’s National Team in salaries and game bonuses, and we continue to make unprecedented investments in our women’s program.”
