Case Summary

This is a case about the Women’s National Soccer Team (WNT) suing the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) for gender discrimination. On March 8, 2019, members of the WNT filed this class-action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The plaintiffs sued the USSF under the Equal Pay Act (EPA), 29 U.S.C. § 206(d) et seq., and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. Represented by Winston & Strawn LLP, the plaintiffs sought damages & fees (including back pay), an injunction against the USSF engaging in its gender discrimination practices, a declaratory judgment that such practices were unlawful, and an adjustment to their wages and benefits. They claimed that the USSF had been paying them less than similarly situated male employees despite better performance in violation of the EPA. Their complaint also stated that the USSF has been treating them less favorably than their male colleagues in violation of Title VII, specifically with respect to “pay; playing, training and travel conditions; promotion of games; and support and development for games.”

The WNT has had world-wide success. It has been ranked first in the world according to FIFA’s Women’s World Rankings for ten of the past eleven years; it has won three World Cup titles and four Olympic Gold Medals; and has won numerous other awards and accolades. Plaintiffs alleged that because of this success, they spend more time training, competing, and participating in media sessions than their male counterparts. They furthermore contended that they earned more profit and/or revenue for the USSF than the Men’s National Soccer Team (MNT) during the period relevant to this case.

Despite this, the plaintiffs claimed that USSF has continued to treat its female employees worse than its similarly situated male employees. For non-tournament games called “friendlies”, the complaint calculated that if all games were won, the WNT would earn on average 38% that of the MNT. For the 2014 World Cup, the MNT earned $5,375,000 in “performance bonuses” after being knocked out in Round 16. In contrast, in 2015, the WNT earned only $1,725,000 after winning the entire World Cup. But the plaintiffs said that the disparate treatment extended to policies and practices as well. The WNT was much more often forced to play on inferior surfaces such as artificial turf, which affect the game and are more likely to lead to injury; the MNT has consistently received charter flights while the WNT has had to fly commercial; the USSF has allocated fewer resources for promoting WNT games than for promoting MNT games, and waited longer before announcing their games leading to reduced attendance; and the USSF charged less for tickets to WNT games than to MNT games, reducing the potential revenue from their games.

The WNT began collective bargaining for equal pay through their union in 2012, but the USSF has continually rejected their demands. In fact, in response to their 2012 demands, the USSF countered that they would only compensate the WNT for winning games against FIFA top-ranked teams (the MNT, by comparison, were always paid no matter the outcome of the game or the rank of the opposing team). According to the complaint, in 2016, a representative of the USSF claimed that “market realities are such that the women do not deserve to be paid equally to the men,” after openly admitting that the WNT outperformed the MNT in both revenue and profit the prior year. In 2017, the WNT proposed a revenue-sharing model to test these “market realities” wherein their pay would increase or decrease based on whether the USSF derived more or less revenue from WNT’s activities. The USSF rejected this proposal.

Upon filing the suit on March 8, 2019, plaintiffs filed a motion to transfer the case to Multidistrict Litigation, but this was denied on June 10, 2019. Defendant filed to transfer to the Northern District of California on May 23, 2019, but this was denied on July 1, 2019.

On August 20, 2019 the case was referred to mediation.

On September 11, 2019, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification, which was granted on November 8, 2019. The order granted:

(1) Certification of a Rule 23(b)(2) class, defined as: "All WNT players on the team at the date of final judgment, or the date of the resolution of any appeals therefrom, whichever is later;"

(2) Certification of a Rule 23(b)(3) class, defined as: "All WNT players who were members of the WNT at any time from February 4, 2015 through the date of class certification;" and

(3) Conditional certification of a collective action pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 216(b), defined as: "All WNT players who were members of the WNT at any time from March 8, 2016 through the present."

On February 20, 2020, both parties motioned for summary judgment. On May 1, 2020, Judge R. Gary Klausner denied the plaintiff’s motion and granted the defendant’s motion in part. The EPA claim was denied because (1) the WNT was paid more both on a cumulative and average per-game basis than the MNT, and (2) the WNT failed to offer sufficient evidence that despite this, they were being undercompensated compared to the MNT. The Title VII claim, however, survived “insofar as it is based on (1) travel conditions (specifically, charter flights and hotel accommodations), and (2) personnel and support services (specifically, medical and training support).”

On May 8, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a motion with the district court to certify an interlocutory appeal regarding the summary judgment order on the Equal Pay Act and Title VII claims. The district court denied their motion on June 23, 2020, reasoning that if the plaintiffs lost at trial, an appeal of all claims would be likely anyway, so it would not make administrative sense to do so before the trial.

On July 29, 2020, the court scheduled a jury trial for January 26, 2021. However, prior to a trial, on April 13, 2021, the court granted the plaintiff’s motion for final approval of class settlement regarding the working conditions claims.

That order included entering a final judgment on the Equal Pay Act and Title VII claims. Accordingly, on April 14, the plaintiff’s filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, seeking to reinstate these claims (USCA No. 21-55356). The EEOC asked for permission to participate on the appeal on behalf of the plaintiffs. The case continued to receive attention at the national scale and was the subject of frequent news coverage.

In February 2022, the parties reached a settlement agreement on the equal pay claims, which provided $24 million in backpay to the soccer players and equal pay going forward. In light of this development, the Ninth Circuit granted the parties' joint motion to remove the appeal from the oral argument calendar and to place it abeyance.

Because an appeal is pending before the Ninth Circuit, the parties moved for the appellate court to either preliminarily approve the settlement or make a limited remand so that the settlement could be approved. The Ninth Circuit chose the latter option, and on August 11, 2022, the District Court granted preliminary approval. As of November 16, 2022, final approval has not yet been granted.
