Norway, women football teams to be paid the same as male football teams
In the sports world, Norway have announced that both female and male players will earn the same amount of money, for representing the country. With the amount paid to the women's team almost doubling to 6m krone (£574,540) from 3.1m (£296,845) which includes money paid to the male players for advertising (bbc news).
Many female athletes are thankful for this movement with Caroline Graham Hansen commenting "For you to say that equal pay is how it should be, makes me want to cry. It makes me want to hug you all" in a post on Instagram.
Joachim Walltin believes that this is the first kind of deal like this to happen in the sporting world
step forward for women and pay equality, although in Denmark there is still negotiations happening and in the United States, there had ben improvements.
This step forward in the sporting world is enlightening for women all over the wold and brings hope to the issue of pay equality. Although this seems a small step, it will hopefully conceive major improvements of in same manor in other sports and in society as a whole.
