Canada captain Christine Sinclair says she's confident the Canadian women's national team will come to a last-minute pay agreement with its federation before the players depart for the Women's World Cup.
"It's not going to be some long-term deal, but it will at least cover this year," said Sinclair, who characterized the agreement as imminent before the team departs for Australia on Monday for a pre-World Cup camp.
"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.
