Daily Times understands that the confederation appointed two women’s football coordinators, Duda Luizelli and Aline Pellegrino.

“Since March of this year, CBF has made an equal value in terms of prizes and daily rates between men’s and women’s football,” CBF chief Rogerio Caboclo said in a statement.

“That is, the players earn the same thing as the players during the calls. What they receive by daily call, women also receive.

“There is no more gender difference, the CBF is treating men and women equally.

“What they will gain by conquering or by staging the Olympics next year will be the same as the men will have.”
