Canadian women’s soccer team announces strike over pay cut Christine Sinclair, the captain of the Canadian women’s team, announced the strike to protest the lack of pay and the lack of equal pay.
Last Saturday, the women’s team issued a press release ahead of the strike to protest the Canadian Football Federation’s financial instability.
The strike announcement of the Canadian women’s team is about to take place on February 17 against the United States in the She Believes Cup.
The Canadian men’s soccer team has also come out in support of the strike.
Christine Sinclair told broadcaster T.S. that they will continue with the strike until the FA ends its neglect of women’s football.
“We are entering a labor strike. From today we will not represent Canada in any match. “We are pushing for a radical solution to this problem,” said Christine Sinclair.
“All we have is a basic demand to be treated with equality and dignity. “Only if adequate funding is allocated and allocated will we be able to prepare well for the World Cup and beyond,” added Christine Sinclair.
Canada is currently ranked sixth in the FIFA women’s rankings. The team also won a gold medal in the 2021 Olympics.
Currently the USA and Wales women’s and men’s soccer teams receive equal pay.
In cricket, India, New Zealand and Australia have also announced equal pay for male and female players.
