$15 million dollars. That is what the United States National Team pocketed for reaching the round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup. 🇺🇸⚽
But there is one detail no one saw coming: a policy inherited from the Joe Biden administration requires half of that prize to be shared with the women’s squad, on the grounds of equal pay in sports.
