Canada’s women’s soccer team said Wednesday that it will be participating at the SheBelieves Cup under “protest” after its pay equity dispute with the national federation remained unresolved
. Speaking to the media ahead of its opening game in Orlando against the United States Women’s National Team on Thursday, Canada forward Janine Beckie said that the team was “operating under a protest,” and on Wednesday during their training session, the players wore their jerseys inside out.
“We are being forced back to work for the next few weeks,” Canada midfielder Quinn said on Twitter Sunday. “While stepping on a field continuing to provide labour for an organization that upholds gender inequality goes against every fibre of my being, I will continue to do so in protest,” the Olympic gold medalist added. CNN has reached out to Canada Soccer for comment.
