Commentary: Here are the real winners of the USWNT players vs. U.S. Soccer Federation lawsuit

LA Times  

Now that women’s national team has settled its long-running legal battle over equal pay with the U.S. Soccer Federation, it’s as good a time as any to wonder about what comes next. The federation also agreed to pay men’s and women’s senior national team players equally for all friendlies and tournaments. How — or whether — the two national teams will get an equal rate of pay from major tournaments such as the World Cup, where men’s teams are paid considerably more, won’t be determined until negotiations for a new men’s collective bargaining agreement conclude. Cordeiro, who was instrumental in convincing FIFA to bring the World Cup back to North America in 2026, resigned as president two years ago, halfway through his four-year term, after lawyers representing U.S. Soccer in the gender-discrimination suit claimed “indisputable science” showed the women players were inferior to their male counterparts.
