The Brazilian Football Federation announces that they have introduced equal pay for all national team players. This means that the women’s national team led by Swedish Pia Sundhage will in future receive the same prize money and compensation as the men’s national team.

This now means that the national team players in Brazil’s national team in the future will receive equal amounts in connection with national team gatherings and tournaments.

– Now there is no gender difference anymore, CBF treats men and women equally, says chairman Rogerio Caboclo in a statement to the news agency AFP.
