The party says it is unacceptable that male national players earn 10 times more money playing the same 90 minutes of football.
Black First, Land First went to the offices of the South African Football Association on Tuesday to demand parity for the national women’s team with the men’s team.
The conventional reasons normally offered for why male soccer players tend to earn more than their female counterparts are often that men’s football attracts bigger audiences and more sponsorship money. The party said they had written to Safa on 10 April giving them a “grace period of almost two weeks to sort this issue out” but they had then “obviously failed to do so”.
