More than 50 members of the United States Congress have added their signatures to a letter demanding answers from the US Soccer Federation regarding inferior wages paid to the country’s female footballers.
The letter, sent to US Soccer president Carlos Cordeiro and led by Rep. Jackie Speier, asks several questions of the Federation as the USWNT prepare to take on the Netherlands in Sunday’s Women’s World Cup final in Lyon.
The showcase fixture will mark the fifth occasion the US have reached the final since 1991, as they aim to lift the trophy for a record fourth time at Parc Olympique Lyonnais.
