Adidas' head of global brands Eric Liedtke said the company wanted to help encourage the next generation of sportswomen.
BERLIN - Adidas-sponsored players on the team that wins the FIFA Women's World Cup this year will receive the same performance bonus payments as their male counterparts, the sportswear company said.
The lawsuit filed by the team includes complaints about wages. The players said they had been consistently paid less than their male counterparts even though their performances have been superior. "We believe in inspiring and enabling the next generation of female athletes, creators and leaders through breaking barriers."
