To Celebrate the 2023 World Cup, Revisit the Biggest Moments in USWNT History

On Feb. 22, 2022, players from the USWNT made history — but this time off the field — by settling a class-action gender-discrimination lawsuit against the US Soccer Federation (USSF) for $24 million. They later came to an agreement with the USSF that guarantees equal pay to both US Soccer teams through 2028, including the equalization of World Cup prize money. This victory is just the beginning for equal pay in sports but marks a huge win for the USWNT and underpaid athletes everywhere.
