England men’s and women’s senior players have been paid
the same match fee for representing their country since January
2020, the Football Association confirmed on Thursday.
Brazil on Wednesday joined Australia, Norway and New Zealand on
the list of football associations who had publicly committed to
paying their men and women players the same amount for earning a
senior cap.

“The FA pays its women’s players exactly the same as their male
counterparts for representing England, both in terms of match fees
and match bonuses,” the FA said in a statement.
“This parity has been in place since January 2020.”
In March 2019, the US women’s team, the current world champions,
sued their federation alleging discrimination over pay and
conditions.
A judge dismissed their case in May this year but the team have
appealed that ruling.
