adidas to Pay Woman's World Cup Winners Same Bonuses as Male Competitors

Sportswear brand adidas have announced that their athletes on the winning FIFA Women's World Cup team will receive the same performance bonuses as their male peers.

The announcement comes just one day after it was revealed that the US female players filed a lawsuit against Adidas over allegations of gender discrimination - more specifically regarding equal wages and treatment.

The US are set to defend their Women's World Cup crown when the tournament gets underway on 7 June in France and ahead of the tournament in response to recent allegations, adidas look to have taken the criticism on board.
