This summer, in Paris, the Olympic Games will achieve, for the first time in their history, parity in terms of participants. In 1912, Pierre de Coubertin declared that women should be, as in ancient tournaments, to crown the winners.
The first real fight for women was to win the right of access to national sports federations. It was not until 1970 that women could be licensed by the French Football Federation. Today, women's World Tour teams are now required to establish a minimum salary. In May 2022, the American Football Federation reached a “ historic ” agreement with the players’ associations.
