Abstract

The lawsuit filed by the United States Women's National Soccer Team (USWNT) against the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) has generated significant debate regarding the limits of sports federation autonomy in relation to international human rights standards, particularly concerning gender-based pay inequality. This study examines the USWNT v. USSF case from an international human rights perspective, focusing on the principles of equality, non-discrimination, and the right to equal remuneration for work of equal value in professional sports. Using a descriptive qualitative method with normative legal analysis, the research analyzes the case based on legal documents, academic literature, and relevant international and domestic legal instruments, including the Equal Pay Act of 1963, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, CEDAW, ICCPR, ICESCR, and ILO Convention No. 100. The findings demonstrate that the USSF's compensation policy was inconsistent with the principles of equal pay and gender equality under both domestic and international law. Furthermore, the 2022 settlement of USD 24 million confirms that equal remuneration is institutionally achievable and establishes an important legal precedent that sports federation autonomy remains subject to human rights obligations, while commercial considerations cannot justify unequal treatment of athletes performing work of equal value.
