Brazil stars like Marta and Cristiane will be earning the same bag for representing the national team as their male counterparts like Neymar and Phillipe Coutinho.

This is a major breakthrough in ensuring equality between the men’s and women’s game, with the increasing strength and optics towards the women’s game set to level up even further both domestically and internationally next season.
