The winning team of the Women's World Cup will receive an equal bonus pay as their male counterparts, according to adidas.

"Today we are announcing that all Adidas athletes on the winning 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup team will receive the same performance bonus payout as their male peers. We believe in inspiring and enabling the next generation of female athletes, creators and leaders through breaking barriers," said head of global brands Eric Liedtke.

The announcement comes on the heels of U.S. women's national soccer team roster suing U.S. Soccer for gender-based discrimination. 

Will Ferrell has signed on to play former FIFA executive Chuck Blazer in an upcoming role.

Blazer admitted that he and other FIFA executives received bribes to vote for France and South Africa to host the 1998 and 2010 World Cup.

The project, set for HBO, will be based on the book American Huckster: How Chuck Blazer Got Rich From -- And Sold Out -- The Most Powerful Cabal In World Sports by Mary Papenfuss and Teri Thompson.
