Denmark’s Men’s Football Team Has Refused A Pay Raise So The Women’s Team Can Get Equal Pay

Denmark’s men’s football team has refused a pay raise so the women’s team can get equal pay.

The Danish football association had wanted to ensure that there was equal pay between the men’s and women’s teams, but both teams didn’t want to take money from the men’s team to pay the women.

So instead, the men’s team and the player’s union decided to refuse a wage increase so both teams can get the same pay.

The men’s will also decrease its insurance coverage to increase the women’s and under 21 men’s teams’ insurance.

The move is part of a deal with the Danish Football Association, which will see the men and women players receiving the same fee for representing Denmark over the next 4 years.

The deal also involves creating a clubhouse and development fund for the men’s, women’s and youth national teams.

The agreement will take effect in August after the 2024 UEFA European Football Championship, which began on June 14.
