Players from the U.S. women’s soccer national team settled their equal pay lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) for $24 million, the two sides revealed in a court filing Tuesday.

The players will get a lump sum of $22 million to be distributed, and another $ 2 million will go into an account for the players in their post-career goals and charitable efforts related to women’s and girls’ soccer.

The USSF also committed to giving an equal rate of pay for the women’s and men’s national teams in all friendlies and tournaments, including the World Cup.
