Men, women players close gender pay gap in Australia
Print Edition
Australia鈥檚 football federation and players鈥 union say they have agreed on a new collective bargaining agreement that closes the pay gap between the men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 national teams.
The new four-year Collective Bargaining Agreement announced yesterday ensures the Socceroos and Matildas receive a 24-percent share of an agreed aggregate of generated revenues in 2019-20, rising by 1 percent each year. Under the agreement, players are entitled to 40 percent of prize money on qualifying for a FIFA World Cup, representing an increase from 30 percent. That share of prize money increases to 50 percent if they progress to the knockout stage of the competition. 鈥淭he new agreement reflects football鈥檚 determination to address issues of gender equity in all facets of the game and build a sustainable financial model that rewards players as national team revenues increase,鈥 a joint statement said. 鈥淪ignificantly for the Matildas, a new three-tiered centralized contract system will see Australia鈥檚 finest women鈥檚 footballers provided with increased annual remuneration with the tier 1 players earning the same amount as the top Socceroos.鈥 The agreement still doesn鈥檛 reflect equal remuneration: the Socceroos鈥 prize money is exponentially greater than the Matildas. Local media reported that at the 2018 men鈥檚 World Cup in Russia, the Socceroos earned US$5.5 million just for qualifying, and then failed to win a game. The Matildas earned US$700,000 for making the knockout stages at the Women鈥檚 World Cup.
