USA women’s football team appeal against equal pay ruling

Date:

The United States women’s football team have filed an appeal against a decision by the court to dismiss their bid for equal pay.
A judge last week rejected the players’ claims they were underpaid compared to the US men’s side.
The lawsuit was filed by 28 women’s national team players last year against the US Soccer Federation (USSF) and they had been seeking $66m (£52.8m) in damages under the Equal Pay Act.
Spokeswoman Molly Levinson confirmed the appeal was submitted on Friday.
