Brazil's football governing body has announced that it's adopting an equal pay policy for both women's and men's football, becoming one of the first countries in the world to do so. "The CBF has equaled the prize money and allowances between men's and women's football, which means the women players will earn the same as the men," said Rogerio Caboclo, president of Brazil’s football association CBF. "There is no more gender difference because CBF is treating men and women equally," he said. This means Marta, the record owner for the most goals scored in World Cups—in both men's and women's competitions—will earn the same as Neymar Jr., the current playmaker of the Cariocas. While the Brazilian men’s team is known for having won the World Cup a record five times, the lesser-known women's team is also one of the best in the game, with a World Cup final appearance in 2007. The team also reached the Olympic finals in 2004 and 2008. Brazil joined a small number of countries, among Norway, New Zealand, and Australia, to pay its men's and women's national teams the same, and just a day after the announcement, England took the same decision.
