NEW YORK - The 1999 U.S. women’s team may defy comparison in the eyes of many soccer fans but, 20 years after their famous World Cup triumph, the challenges they faced are all too familiar with pay and conditions still at the top of the agenda.
“For the resources and for the ability that FIFA has to implement that change , they’re not doing nearly enough,” co-captain Megan Rapinoe said on Friday. “I hope that it’s just so much better than it is now.” Julie Foudy, a midfielder on the 1999 team, told Reuters earlier this week that she was “frustrated” there was still a need to pursue the dispute.
“I think it’s pretty clear women in sport have not been treated with the same care and financing that men’s sports has,” said Rapinoe.
