Brazil announces equal pay for men’s and women’s football teams

Brazil’s football federation has announced it will pay men and women the same amount for representing the national team.

Brazil’s football association CBF said its decision was first communicated to the women’s team and their Swedish coach Pia Sundhage in March.

Federation president Rogerio Caboclo said “The CBF has equalled the prize money and allowances between men’s and women’s football, which means the women players will earn the same as the men. It will be proportionally the same as what Fifa proposes for women, that is to say, there will be no more gender difference in remuneration between men and women. It will be applied to the teams participating in the Olympics next year as well as the next World Cup tournaments”
