The US Football Association has offered identical contractual proposals to the players’ association of the men’s national team and that of the women’s national team. The goal, says the US Soccer Federation in a statement, is to “align the male and female senior national teams in a single collective agreement structure”. In addition, the federation invited players to “find a way to match the prize pool of the Fifa World Cup”. Without this step, US soccer makes it known that “it will not accept any collective agreement”. However, if the two players ‘associations “choose to continue to negotiate separately as they have done so far, Us Soccer will invite Uswntpa (the women’s national team players’ association, ed) to participate in negotiations with the USNSTPA (that of the men’s national team, ed) and vice versa, in the interest of full transparency “.
The US Football Association in fact «firmly believes that the best path to follow for all those involved, and for the future of sport in the United States, is a single pay structure for both major national teams. This proposal will ensure that Uswnt and Usmnt players remain among the highest paid senior national team players in the world, while providing a revenue sharing structure that would allow all parties to start over and collectively share the opportunity that combined investments. in the future of the United States “.
