Adidas says it will give its sponsored players on the Women's World Cup-winning soccer team the same bonus as their male counterparts.

The company confirmed on Twitter that it believes 'in inspiring and enabling the next generation of female athletes, creators and leaders through breaking barriers.'

'Today we are announcing that all Adidas athletes on the winning 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup team will receive the same performance bonus payout as their male peers,' read the statement by Eric Liedtke of Adidas. 

Captioning the tweet was 'Equal pay for equal play. #WWC #WorldCup.'

Adidas tweeted its statement of equality on Friday, International Women's Day

On Friday - International Women's Day - American players filed a federal discrimination lawsuit against the US Soccer Federation over equal treatment and pay. 

The players alleged ongoing 'institutionalized gender discrimination' that includes unequal pay with their counterparts on the men's national team.

We believe it is our duty to be the role models that we've set out to be and fight to what we know we legally deserve,' forward Christen Press told The Associated Press. 'And hopefully in that way it inspires women everywhere.' 

The USSF has maintained in the past that much of the pay disparity between the men's and women's teams results from separate collective bargaining agreements.

'At the heart of this whole issue we believe that it's the right thing. We believe that there has been discrimination against us,' midfielder Megan Rapinoe said. 

'And while we have fought very hard and for a long time, whether that be through our CBA or through our players association, putting ourselves in the best possible position that we can to get the best deal that we can, we still feel that we don't have what we're trying to achieve, which is equality in the workplace.' 

The US defends its title at the Women's World Cup, which starts June 7 in France.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
