Seattle Sounders FC players are advocating for a fair distribution of the $9.55 million prize money from the FIFA Club World Cup, which they earned by winning the 2021 Concacaf Champions Cup. The Major League Soccer Players Association supported their stance during a recent match, promoting messages of 'Fair Share Now.' Players argue that despite generating revenue for the league, they have not been offered equitable compensation, pointing to MLS’s reluctance to negotiate bonus terms as they strive for recognition within international standards of player compensation.
FIFA's new tournament piles on to players' ever-increasing workload without regard to their physical well-being. MLS will receive an unprecedented financial windfall.
For months, the players have privately and respectfully invited the league to discuss bonus terms, yet MLS has failed to bring forward a reasonable proposal.
