SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia's women professional footballers are expected to double their salaries under a new pay deal with top internationals set to earn up to A$130,000 (79,306 pounds) a year, Football Federation Australia (FFA) said on Monday.
Under the terms of the new two-year deal worked out with the players' union, the average retainer for a player in the country's nine-team W-League will rise from A$6,909 to A$15,500 for next season, the FFA said.
