11 against 11, Gender equality in football

Definitely, everything that a man does can be done by a woman, the problem is that generally women do better and soccer cannot be the exception and little by little from the almost clandestinity that marked the specialty when the Argentine Elba Selva played With a left profile and a 10 shirt, he scored 4 goals for England in a Soccer World Cup just 15 years before Diego Maradona scored 2 for the same country in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, a lot has passed and times have changed.

Things for the women's specialty have obviously improved, but nevertheless; It is still missing since according to FIFApro estimates an organization that protects the rights of the world's players, founded in 1965, but only in 2015 was the women's committee included just 2 years ago despite the immense resources generated by the football industry. In soccer, 49% of professional female players do not receive a decent salary, while about 90% of them finish their career before the age of 25 precisely because of low salaries.

In 2012, Santos of Brazil in an attempt to delay the sale of their star Neymar to Barcelona of Spain eliminated their female affiliate within a plan to save money 5 years later, the 40 million dollars of Neymar's salary were equivalent to the annual salary of a little more than 1,500 women from the main women's soccer leagues.

This great inequality in both salary and treatment, has not prevented us from seeing the evident importance and increasing quality of women's football and footballers, a disciplined teamwork and tactical-technical progress of many of the players who show results higher than that of many of their colleagues are very common today, in a football played by women that according to official FIFA data have 13,360,000 girls and adults playing in federated teams.

Since the soccer federations of Brazil, England and Norway announced that both the men's and women's categories will receive the same bonus and salaries for representing their countries plus nations, several nations have joined the idea, including Australia, Finland, New Zealand and Canada. to a lesser degree, a country where soccer was considered an ideal sport for women.

The opposite is the case in the United States, where its National Team had to win the World Cup in 2015, to have an endorsement with which to claim a high salary from the Federation and a match bonus plan, however; still far from the benefits that members of the men's section receive.
