The Canadian women’s soccer team returned to training this week after Canada Soccer threatened legal action if they continued their job action.
"To be clear. We are being forced back to work for the short term. This is not over. We will continue to fight for everything we deserve and we will win. The She Believes [Cup] is being played in protest,” captain Christine Sinclair tweeted.
The women are demanding the same backing in preparing for this summer's Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand that the men received last year before Qatar. And they want Canada Soccer to open its books.
Canada Soccer said in a statement it “was not prepared to jeopardize the SheBelieves Cup tournament, the preparation it would afford the women's national team for the upcoming World Cup, nor the experience it would afford countless fans who had undoubtedly travelled to Orlando to see their Olympic heroes."
In a Zoom call with Canadian players on Tuesday, Sinclair said the ongoing labour dispute with Canada Soccer has left her and other team representatives "exhausted and deflated" as they prepare to face the top-ranked Americans in the opening game of the SheBelieves Cup on Thursday.
Both the men’s and women’s teams are currently negotiating labour agreements with Canada Soccer.
In 2021, Canada Soccer spent $11 million on the men's team and $5.1 million on the women’s team. Sinclair notes some $2.5 million of that women's funding came from Own the Podium, not Canada Soccer.
The men played 19 games that year, including 14 World Cup qualifiers. The women played 17 and won Olympic gold.
