PROTECT


The primary purpose of the USWNT Players Association is to proactively protect our members. We negotiate for fair pay and safe working conditions for players through collective bargaining and enforcement of our contract – the Collective Bargaining Agreement with US Soccer. Additionally, the USWNTPA continually pushes for progress in the global game through work with other unions and advocacy for equality in sports worldwide.

2022 COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT

2022 CBA

The Collective Bargaining Agreement between the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and the US Women’s National Team Players Association (USWNTPA) sets out the terms and conditions of employment for all soccer players playing on the US Women’s National Team, as well as the respective rights and obligations of the USSF and USWNTPA. The first CBA for our Players Association was ratified in 2000. Read the historical 2022 CBA below.

Decades of Work

In a historic move that was years in the making, the collective bargaining agreements announced in 2022 include identical pay structures and equal distribution of World Cup compensation in the United States. The World Cup winnings have long been considered the biggest obstacle to true equality between the United States National Teams.

Other notable wins in this CBA are that Players from both teams gain individual retirement funds and will share commercial revenue from tickets for the teams’ matches controlled by the USSF, with bonuses for sellouts. Each team will also receive a portion of broadcast, partner and sponsor revenue.

“We hope that this agreement and its historic achievements in not only providing for equal pay but also in improving the training and playing environment for National Team players will similarly serve as the foundation for continued growth of women’s soccer both in the United States and abroad.”

Commemorate Equal Pay

After a multi-decade push for equality by the USWNTPA, members created Stella Nova to honor the year in which they achieved equal pay for equal work in their Federation by way of CBA negotiations and a lawsuit. The inspiration for the jersey being a symbol of this moment comes from the stories of the early years and the new era ahead.
