Canada Soccer’s tense relationship with its national teams is somehow getting worse, as the women's side on Friday announced their intention to go on strike less than six months away from the 2023 World Cup.
The team released a statement explaining their decision to strike, while demanding better treatment and equal pay and condemning the actions of the federation’s leadership.
"The Canadian Women's National Soccer Team is both outraged and deeply concerned with the news of significant cuts to the national team programs for 2023," the statement reads.
The time is now, we are taking job action.
