TORONTO — Canada coach John Herdman paused when the issue of the men’s and women’s teams’ ongoing labour dispute with Canada Soccer came up in his pre\u002Dgame…
The original question referred to comments made March 9 by Canada captain Christine Sinclair before a parliamentary committee.
“To me this spoke volumes about the lack of respect Canada Soccer has for its women’s national team. As a team we do not trust Canada Soccer to be open and honest as we continue to negotiate not only fair and equitable compensation and treatment but for the future of our program.”Article content Bontis, Canada Soccer chief financial officer Sean Heffernan and CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani are scheduled to appear before the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage on Thursday. Montagliani, a Vancouver native, is a former Canada Soccer president who now doubles as FIFA vice-president and head of CONCACAF, which covers North and Central America and the Caribbean.
The sixth-ranked women’s team, which formed the Canadian Soccer Players’ Association in 2016, has been without a labour deal since the last one expired at the end of 2021. They have struck an agreement in principle with Canada Soccer on compensation for 2022 but say other issues have yet to be resolved.Article content
