Recently, the U.S. women's soccer team took the lead in agreeing with the U.S. men's soccer team and the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) to sign a landmark collective bargaining agreement that officially opens a new chapter in equal pay for equal work. The news quickly festered in the global media, and as a result, the U.S. Soccer Federation became the first soccer federation to distribute equal FIFA World Cup bonuses to both the men's and women's national teams. However, in a report by Phoenix Sports, it was revealed that in fact, before the U.S. side, China's soccer federation had already realized the equal bonus distribution between the men's and women's national teams, i.e., the same pay for the same work, and China's soccer federation had created a new record in history with this move.
The Phoenix Sports report further pointed out that China's Football Association has long realized the precedent of "equal pay for equal work" for men and women. According to the media, China's men's football international players in the national team daily allowance ranging from 100 yuan to 200 yuan, and in the twelve strong match, the Asian Cup and other major tournaments, the allowance is as high as 300 yuan to 600 yuan. This information has shocked many fans. I did not expect that China's soccer has gone to the forefront of the world in terms of equal pay for men and women.
Despite the fact that our men's soccer team has not yet achieved satisfactory results, our Football Association has always been committed to promoting the advancement of soccer. So far, everything the Association has done has far-reaching significance. Under the leadership of the Association, both men's and women's soccer teams are looking forward to making greater breakthroughs in the future and displaying the charm of Chinese soccer on the world stage, striving for more brilliant results.
