Alisha Lehmann’s Salary Revolt

Alisha Lehmann’s Stand Against Wage Gap: “He Earns a Hundred Times More Than Me”

Alisha Lehmann, a key player for Juventus Women’s Football Team, has sparked a conversation about the wage disparity between men’s and women’s football. In a candid interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Lehmann expressed her frustration with the massive pay gap, revealing that her boyfriend, Douglas Luiz—who also plays for Juventus—earns 100 times more than she does.

Lehmann emphasized the unfairness of the situation, stating:

“Everyone wants the same salary. I talk about this with Douglas at home and tell him it’s not right. We do the same job, but he’s paid a hundred times more. It makes me uncomfortable.”

She acknowledged that the journey to equal pay is long and challenging, but believes that change can only come with a strong commitment to addressing the imbalance. Lehmann’s statements have added to the growing conversation surrounding equal pay in sports, highlighting the need for substantial progress.
