gender discrimination

The Football Association in England has dismissed the insinuations of institutionalised gender discrimination among its men and women soccer teams.

The FA announced on Thursday that the England men’s and women’s senior players have been paid the same match fee for representing their country since January 2020 – although tournament prize money still vastly differs.

In recent times, there have been controversies over pay equity and working conditions among male and female soccer teams.

In March 2019, the US women’s team, the current world champions, sued their federation alleging discrimination over pay and conditions.
