Four U.S. women’s players—Carli Lloyd, Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe and Becky Sauerbrunn—each earned a total of $1.1 million- $1.2 million for their national-team play between March 30, 2014, and Sept. 30, 2019, according to U.S. Soccer’s filings.
By comparison, the income of the single men’s national team player who earned the most in the aggregate during the 2014-19 period was $993,967, according to U.S. Soccer.
The women’s filings countered that each of the four women’s players named in U.S. Soccer’s filings would have earned at least $2.5 million more over nearly six years if they had achieved their team’s same results under the U.S. men’s team’s compensation policy.
In a declaration for the court, Becca Roux, executive director of the U.S. women’s players’ association, summarized the U.S. women’s greater tallies of games and victories and how they translated to pay. From Jan. 1, 2017-October 7, 2019, the U.S. women won 83% of their games while the men won 48% of their games. The women played 58 matches while the men played 44, the declaration says.
