NEW YORK (Reuters) - The 1999 U.S. women's team may defy comparison in the eyes of many soccer fans but, 20 years after their famous World Cup triumph, the challenges they faced are all too familiar with pay and conditions still at the top of the agenda.

Soccer's world governing body FIFA has boosted the prize money for this year's women's World Cup to $30 million but that figure is dwarfed by the roughly $448 million on offer at the men's tournament in Russia last year.

In March, the U.S. women's squad sued U.S. Soccer for gender discrimination, saying the sport's national organising body paid them less than the men's team despite their superior performance and provided them with sub-standard facilities. All 23 members of this year's squad spoke to the media ahead of Sunday's friendly against Mexico, part of a farewell series of friendlies ahead of next month's tournament in France where they will be defending the title they won in 2015.
