Football Association of Wales agree on Equal pay in the landmark deal
The Football Association of Wales [FAW] have agreed on a deal that will see equal pay come into effect immediately.
The Wales men's senior team have agreed to a 25% pay cut to enable a 25% rise for the women's team, which will mean parity for representing Wales.
"I am pleased about the equal pay; it is about equality," Wales boss Gemma Grainger explained.
"Together Stronger has been the mantra across the Cymru national teams for us all, both on and off the pitch, as we look to put Wales on the world stage," Wales' men's and women's teams said in a joint statement.
"As part of the FAW's strives towards equality, we are now proud to announce that together, our men's and women's teams have agreed to a similar pay structure for future international matches.
"We hope this will allow future generations of boys and girls to see that there is equality across Welsh international football, which is important for society as a whole."
