The Canada women's soccer team will return to training from Sunday and play at next week's SheBelieves Cup because of the threat of facing legal action from governing body Canada Soccer, they said.

In a statement, Canada Soccer said"the players, while having taken job action, were not and are not in a legal strike position under Ontario labour law."
"As individual players who have received no compensation yet for any of our work for Canada Soccer in 2022, we cannot afford the risks that personal action against us by Canada Soccer will create.
