Tottenham captain Shelina Zadorsky insists the Canadian national team players will not back down from their demands for better financial support and working conditions despite being forced to cancel strike action.
Players announced they were going on strike on Saturday due to significant budget cuts ahead of this summer’s Women’s World Cup.
But the strike was cancelled after players claimed Canada Soccer had threatened to take legal action, with the squad due to play in the SheBelieves Cup this week.
‘No one expected to get the responses that you’re going to be sued as a player by your own federation,’ Zadorsky said.
