The Canadian women are being backed by the men’s national team, which had its own issues with the country's soccer federation last year.
USWNT legends Alex Morgan and Carli Lloyd look at what's next in the fight for equal pay after the landmark $24 million settlement with US Soccer earlier this year.The president of the Canadian soccer federation resigned Monday following accusations by the women's national team of unequal and inequitable treatment.“Canada Soccer and both of our National Team Programs have the real potential to sign a historic collective bargaining agreement,” he wrote.
“While I have been one of the biggest proponents of equalizing the competitive performance environment for our Women’s National Team, I will unfortunately not be leading this organization when it happens.”Bontis’ resignation comes less than two weeks after the women’s teamover budget cuts that left the Olympic champions with significantly fewer resources ahead of this summer’s World Cup than the Canadian men had ahead of their World Cup last year.
The women said they can invite fewer players into training camps and have had their number of staff members cut. They also said they’ve been told they won’t play any home games ahead of the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
