The U.S. Soccer Federation has reached a proposed settlement with the Women’s National Team in a legal battle over working conditions but a dispute over equal pay with that of their male counterparts continues.
The agreement, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on Tuesday, is a partial victory for the World Cup champion U.S. women’s soccer team, who will see an improvement in hotel accommodations, venues, travel and staffing that will put them on equal footing with players on the Men’s National Team.
“This is a good day. I hope everyone sees that we are a new U.S. Soccer,” U.S. Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone told reporters in a press conference.
She noted a slew of internal personnel changes, including herself and new CEO Will Wilson, saying their “fresh approach” is helping to rebuild the strained relationship between the players and the federation.
Among the most notable changes under the proposed settlement is a requirement that “matches be played on grass in almost all circumstances.” The women’s team has been fighting for years to put an end to matches played on artificial surfaces — a condition with which the men’s team rarely contends.
