Canadian women’s soccer team wants to finalize World Cup deal
Players on the Canadian women’s soccer team have told Canada Soccer they want the issue of remuneration at the World Cup settled before they board the plane to Australia.
Canada Soccer and its men’s and women’s teams have been embroiled in a labour dispute for more than a year. Seventh-ranked Canada opens July 21 against No. 40 Nigeria in Melbourne before facing No. 22 Ireland on July 26 and No. 10 Australia back in Melbourne on July 31. They struck an agreement in principle with Canada Soccer on compensation for 2022, but say other issues have yet to be resolved.
