Canada Women’s Soccer team players go on strike

Canada Women’s soccer team players say they will go on strike over budget cuts and pay equity. 

The players released a statement on Twitter, criticizing the sport’s governing body Canada Soccer, stating players were told the organization “cannot adequately fund the Women’s National Team,” five months before the Women’s World Cup.

In response the country’s governing body Canada Soccer issued their own statement saying that pay equity “is at the core of our ongoing player negotiations,” and that it has “already issued a mutually-agreed to retroactive payment.”

It added that it had “presented an equity-based proposal to our national teams and their counsel several months ago, and we are still waiting for a definitive response to the terms of that proposal.”
