No reason whatsoever why FA pay shouldn't be equal (which would be for international call-ups), after all English football is hardly strapped for cash.

[Football] WALES LEADS THE WAY

In the men's game the fees are irrelevant (post Don Revie, if not before, if Crazy Horse was correct). So this is a gesture. I'm comfortable with it.Yeah but, no.
It is simply not the same game in terms of technique, tempo, and market forces currently.
May I be as so bold to say, there may not be that much difference between the Welsh Men's team and Women's team so therefore they feel justified offering them the same money.

I think a lot of people on this thread would do well to look up the term gender equity.

Rubbish, a women has ruled my life with an iron fist for years, don’t talk to me about gender equality, I can’t remember the last time I was right.
I'd have thought the US women's team should get paid more than the men.
It seems you didn't bother to read the article
Equal pay: Football Association of Wales agree landmark deal
Wales' men's and women's senior players will be paid the same for representing their country for the first time.www.bbc.co.uk
Wales has become the first country to give equal pay to men and women for representing their country.
You would like to think that England will swiftly do the same
Even after they got hammered by an U15 boys team ?

Would anyone like to see this principle extended to all occupations? In other words, in all circumstances men and women get the same pay if in the same occupation.
Yes. What's the boys' team got to do with it?
Following the Lewes model……

nobody should get paid anything for representing their country. Honour only.

Same level to be fair.
What a ridiculous suggestion. They’ll be letting women vote too before you know it!
Read the report you've posted, they are not the first. Wales join other nations such as United States of America, England, Brazil, Australia, Norway and New Zealand in paying their players the same international match fee.Equal pay: Football Association of Wales agree landmark deal

You would like to think that England will swiftly do the same (particularly as the Lionesses have been far more successful on the global stage than their male counterparts)
Seriously ?
If I understand it correctly, you believe that women should be financially punished because 200 000 years of evolution made women physically weaker than men?Seriously ?
I wouldn’t stamp down that because of mens physicality, that automatically labels the man as stronger than the woman. I personally think woman are telepathically stronger than men and woman are stronger.

Generally, players don't make a living playing international football. That is derived from club football, and so the international fee is more of a symbolic gesture than commercial. On that level it makes sense.
However, you can't help feeling this moral stance at international level does not sit easy with the wage disparity between men and women at club level. You wonder how much SPOTY Beth Mead earns compared to other male professional footballers.
