The Brazilian Football Federation announced on Wednesday, "Brazil's National Women Soccer players will receive the same pay as their male counterparts."
CBF President Rogério Caboclo said that the pay parity had started in March. "Since March this year, the CBF has equalled the prize money and daily rates between men's and women's football. That's to say, the players earn the same as those who are called up [to the national team]," Caboclo said in a press conference.
"Women will receive the same daily rate as those who already receive them. The women's team that wins or progresses through the stages at next year's Olympic Games will receive the same as the men.
"What the men will receive at the next World Cup (2022) will be proportionately equal to what is proposed by FIFA. There is no more gender difference; the CBF is treating men and women equally."
