Having just gone through their own protracted labor dispute with US Soccer, the US women’s national team is now expressing their solidarity with the Denmark WNT as they fight their own federation in a pay dispute.
Here’s the problem: for the better part of a year, the Danish women’s team have been arguing with the DBU over no longer being classified as employees of the federation and asking for better wages. Katja Kragelund at Women’s Soccer Zone had a very good thorough rundown of the issues at play. The players have previously received about £300 for being selected for major tournaments like the World Cup and Euros, with more if they qualify for these tournaments.
