President Rogério Caboclo announced it will pay women and men the same amount for representing the Brazilian national teams.
“Since March of this year, CBF has made an equal value in terms of prizes and daily rates between men’s and women’s football. That is, the players earn the same thing as the players during the calls. What they receive by daily call, women also receive. What they will gain by conquering or by staging the Olympics next year will be the same as the men will have,” said Caboclo.
“What men will receive at the next World Cup will be proportionally equal to what is proposed by FIFA. There is no more gender difference, as the CBF is treating men and women equally,” he said.
Brazil now joins Australia, Norway and New Zealand among the nations who pay their men and women the same amount.
It will be applied to the teams who will be participating in the Olympics next year as well as the next World Cup tournaments.
