“I am part of this initiative because I believe that women footballers deserve the same conditions as male footballers and we are working hard to prove it. There are still some things missing or we can do much better But I think the fact that we have that collective goal means that together we feel that there is a common goal. We know that there is strength in unity, we inspire each other. And the sound gets stronger.”
FIFPRO President David Aganzo concluded: “FIFPRO is very pleased with the steps FIFA has taken in establishing this guaranteed payment mechanism for players. The key to the success of this model is that it is universally applicable and fair, that Women soccer players tell us. They want that above all else. We believe this is the start of a transformative journey for the landscape of women’s professional soccer.”
