Alisha Lehmann, a footballer for the Swiss national team and "Leister City," who made a statement about the wage gap between women's and men's football, spoke about her personal experience on this issue.
İdman.Biz reports that the footballer stated that she does not consider herself a star and lives like an ordinary person.
According to her, she comes home after training, cooks food, and lives a daily life like everyone else. Lehmann noted that she often talks about this topic with her boyfriend Douglas after training and considers the current situation unfair.
The footballer emphasized that although they do the same job, the difference in earnings is very large:
"Male footballers sometimes earn tens of thousands of times more than female footballers, and this is a systemic problem."
Lehmann's confession has resonated widely on social networks and has brought the issue of equal pay in women's football back to the agenda.
It should be noted that Douglas Luiz, whom Lehmann mentioned in her statement, is a midfielder for the Brazilian national team and currently plays for the English team "Nottingham Forest".
