The decision comes as a blow to both parties, which requested a date be set after the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, per Sports Illustrated’s Grant Wahl. The trial now will take place during the team’s preparations for the upcoming Olympic games.
Trial date for the USWNT’s gender-discrimination case vs US Soccer has been set for May 5, 2020. Both sides had requested a date after the 2020 Olympics, but this is obviously before that. Still expecting a settlement before a trial could start, but the timeline is compressed.
