Canadian women's national soccer team players are threatening to strike ahead of an upcoming tournament in the United States after Canada Soccer, their employer and the sport's national governing body, decided to make 'significant cuts' to their program, the players said Friday.
posted to social media, the CSPA, the Canadian players' association, said that it was"both outraged and deeply concerned" with the lack of support, especially in a World Cup year. They said their preparation for that tournament, which begins in July was being"compromised."
"We have been told that there will be no home game for our team before the World Cup," they continued."We have been told, quite literally, that Canada Soccer cannot adequately fund the women's national team, and they have waited to tell us this until now, when we are less than six months from the World Cup."
