The Gale Football Associations (FAW) has reached an agreement with its men’s and women’s national teams to achieve equal pay, it announced on Wednesday. The new agreement will cover the period up to and including the 2026 Men’s World Cup and 2027 Women’s World Cup, it said in its statement.
The FAW’s announcement comes months after the United States women’s national soccer team and its governing body, US Soccer, agreed to settle a year-long dispute over equal pay described by player as a historic moment for the sport.
“We hope this will enable future generations of men and women to see that there is equality in Welsh international football, which is important to society as a whole,” said the men’s and women’s national teams of Wales in a joint statement. “With this agreement in place, we now look to the UEFA EURO 2024 and 2025 qualifying campaigns as we aim to see more success from our two senior teams in the near future.”
The FAW said the announcement sends a message to future players that whoever represents Wales in the senior teams “wears the same shirt and represents the same team on equal terms”.
