Both the men’s and women’s national teams have been negotiating new contracts with Canada Soccer for more than a year. Sinclair is among the players who have led the team in its fight for equitable pay and treatment
“Our conversations with both of our national teams are ongoing and we share the desire to get this resolved as soon as possible,” Canada Soccer interim General Secretary Jason deVos said in a statement to the Associated Press on Saturday.
“The Americans have gone through it, it’s a long, slow, drawn-out process to get what we deserve,” Sinclair said. “I have full confidence that it’s going to happen in the next couple of days. I have no doubt that it’s going to happen.” In March, Canada Soccer and the team struck an interim funding agreement to compensate the women for the previous year after players said they went unpaid.
