(CNN) Brazil's women's soccer team will receive the same pay as their male counterparts, the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) announced Wednesday. The policy means every player representing Brazil will receive equal daily rates and prize money when on international duty. "Since March this year, the CBF has equaled the prize money and daily rates between men's and women's football. That's to say, the players earn the same as those who are called up [to the national team]," Caboclo said in a press conference , whilst also appointing two women's football coordinators, Duda Luizelli and Aline Pellegrino. The women's team that wins or progresses through the stages at next year's Olympic Games will receive the same as the men.
