The Brazil Football Association will now pay equal salary for both men and women national players.
The Federation president Rogerio Caboclo said that the initiative was taken during the month of March this year.
“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,” he said.
“That is, the players earn the same thing as the players during the calls. What they receive by daily call, women also receive.”
Caboclo says it also applies to performances at international tournaments such as the World Cup and Olympics.
“There is no more gender difference, as the CBF is treating men and women equally,” he said.
“What they will gain by conquering or by staging the Olympics next year will be the same as the men will have.”
Brazil is the fourth international team after Australia, Norway and New Zealand to pay their men and women equally.
