Canada Men’s National Soccer Team Players Association blasts national governing body during labour battle
The Canadian men’s soccer team has fired another salvo in its continuing labour battle with Canada Soccer, accusing the governing body of “attempting to capitalize on the Women’s World Cup to force us into an inadequate deal.”
Canada captain Christine Sinclair said going into the soccer showcase in Australia and New Zealand that the Olympic champion women wanted an interim agreement covering compensation at this World Cup done in advance of the opening kickoff so they could focus on soccer. The men say Canada Soccer wants to keep approximately 70 per cent of combined World Cup prize money “while simultaneously demanding that we agree to reduce our per game compensation dramatically, by as much as 75 per cent.
The men say their “highly reasonable proposal” would allow Canada Soccer to retain between $8.9-million and $14.1-million from the combined prize pool of the men’s and women’s World Cups.
