Press comment: ‘Mitteldeutsche Zeitung’ on women’s football and money

HALLE (dpa-AFX) – “Mitteldeutsche Zeitung” on women’s football and money:

“Demands for the same bonuses from the associations are justified. DFB director Oliver Bierhoff recently pointed out that the European football association Uefa earns more money in men’s competitions than in women’s championships. Of course, the association could and should redistribute internally it too. That would not be possible in club football. It is privately organized. Although the state now sets standards for the general minimum wage. But there is no upper limit. What national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg suggested would be closer: the remuneration of to be equalized from above and below – i.e.: more for women, less for men, at least in the top clubs in the first division.”/DP/jha
