LONDON: Players from the England women’s team appear to have reached an agreement with the country’s soccer federation regarding a dispute over bonuses and commercial structures. England captain Millie Bright said at a news conference on Thursday that the players “feel really confident moving forward about the structure we now have in place” with the Football Association. Exact details of the agreement have yet to be officially announced. In a statement released before the recent Women’s World Cup in Australia, the England squad expressed disappointment at the dispute having not been resolved before the tournament and said the players had decided to pause talks with the intention of revisiting them. Players from teams at the World Cup were due to receive individual payments directly from FIFA for the first time, ranging from $30,000 to $270,00 depending on what stage of the tournament they reached. England players didn’t receive any payments from the FA, reportedly because the governing body perceived payments coming from FIFA to be enough. There is also believed to be frustration over a commercial strategy which players feel limits their ability to earn extra money from sponsorship. “We’ve had a really good conversation with the FA,” Bright said.
