Canada Soccer, CanWNT reach deal on interim funding agreement. MORE:
Canada players purple shirts - The Canadian PressCanada Soccer has struck an agreement in principle with the Canadian women's team on compensation for 2022.
"While this is an important step forward, and it signals progress, there is still more work to do to ensure both of our national programs are given the necessary resources and supports to prepare and compete.""Last summer, we agreed to an interim compensation deal with our men’s national team for appearance fees and results-based bonuses that mirrors the one the women’s team just accepted," a Canada Soccer spokesman said.
The women's existing labour agreement ran out at the end of 2021 while the men are working on their first formal deal, having banded together as the Canada Men’s National Soccer Team Players Association last year. The women organized under the Canadian Soccer Players' Association in 2016. "This change in board leadership at Canada Soccer is one necessary step to ensure the future success of our national team and youth programs, and the survival and growth of soccer in Canada for generations to come," the two national teams said in a joint statement Thursday.
The players also repeated their call for Canada Soccer to open its books"particularly in light of recent budget cuts to the very programs that have generated unprecedented sponsor interest in supporting the national teams. It needs to address the unauthorized use still being made of national team player images.
