Canada Soccer labour talks will produce ‘epic, historical’ deal: association president
1:09Bontis said another element of the deal is travel funding for players’ friends and family, so they can watch them in action.“We’ve provided that, a very very nice amount of money for friends and family,” he said. “And even though we haven’t signed a deal yet, that Friends and Families has already been implemented because their relatives have been able to book hotels and flights for the last month anyway.
Bontis was elected Canada Soccer president in November 2020, taking over from Steven Reed. He had been a member of the Canada Soccer board since 2012 and served as vice-president and chair of the strategic management committee. “So my job now is to help our organization increase capacity. That’s the most important thing. Because we cannot stay as a $20-million organization any more. We have to come up with new revenue streams. We have to build new human capital. We have to build new programs.“We have a gift and that gift is a guarantee that we will be at two World Cups in a row. That’s a gift. Not many federations can say that.
