U.S. Soccer to offer same contracts to women's and men's teams

The U.S. Soccer Federation announced it has offered identical contracts to both the men's and women's teams. The move comes amid an ongoing fight by players on the U.S. women's national team for equal pay.

Now, the U.S. Soccer Federation is aiming to align the men's and women's senior national teams "under a single collective bargaining agreement (CBA) structure," and will give both teams the same pay structure.

"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 begin anew and share collectively in the opportunity that combined investment in the future of U.S. Soccer will deliver over the course of a new CBA," the federation said in a news release Tuesday.
