The Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) announced, through the voice of its president Rogério Caboclo, that the players of the national team will now win "as much as the players".

The boss of the CBF thus congratulated himself on having put an end to “gender differences [in Brazil].

The CBF treats men and women equally.

"

Concretely, this means that the highest authority of Brazilian football will grant "the same amount for bonuses and daily allowances for men and women" in selection.

A fight lost by the Americans

Thanks to the measures announced by the CBF, the players called up for the women's selection will earn the same amounts as the men at each rally, including for match bonuses awarded during international competitions.

“Next year, they will earn the same bonuses as the men at the Olympics.

And during the next World Cup (in 2023), the bonuses will be the same, in proportion to what is awarded by Fifa, ”explained Mr. Caboclo.

The Australian football federation had already announced equal pay between men and women in November 2019. Last May, the American world champions were defeated on the court, a magistrate having rejected their request for equal pay.
