'This is not about one team in one country. This is about us as a collective about what can happen in every single corner of the world,' said Chastain, noting she's proud of the generations of players who didn't give up the fight.
On 50th anniversary of the revolutionary civil rights law Title IX, US soccer star Brandi Chastain looks back on how it paved the way for her career.
"It's game changing moment here in the U.S., but it has the potential to change how international soccer and international sport do business with the equalization of prize money for our men's and women's World Cup," said Cindy Parlow Cone, U.S. Soccer president. Chastain believes the deal transcends the soccer field and is hopeful it helps set an example of equal pay across the board.
"This is not about one team in one country. This is about us as a collective about what can happen in every single corner of the world," said Chastain, noting she's proud of the generations of players who didn't give up the fight. "Down deep in my heart I knew that we are significant as people, as players, as a movement, as a game - there's no denying that."

The federation has announced separate collective bargaining agreements through 2028 with the unions for both national teams. The move ends years of often acrimonious negotiations. One of the main sticking points was World Cup prize money. The unions agreed to pool FIFA’s payments for the men’s World Cup later this year and next year’s Women’s World Cup.
