The U.S. women's national team has filed an appeal against a federal judge's ruling in U.S. Soccer's favor last year over the team's pay discrimination charges.
In May 2020, Judge Gary Klausner ruled that the USWNT could not prove that U.S. Soccer financially discriminated against them due to their gender.
Earlier this week, U.S. Soccer and the USWNT came to a settlement over working conditions, including flights, venue selection, support staff and hotel accommodations, paving the way for an appeal over equal pay.
