DKLIKNEWS – Canada Soccer released details of a proposed collective bargaining agreement (CCA) with its national team on Thursday, after the women’s team staged protests over pay equity concerns and budget cuts last month.

The Olympic champion said the governing body had reduced training camp days, the camp window was full and the number of players and staff invited to camp, among other issues. The two sides reached a tentative deal on funding last week.

Canada Soccer said the CBA would see both men and women paid the same amount to play a 90-minute match and the two would share the same prize money in the competition.

He added that the negotiations depended on collecting the FIFA World Cup prize money and would require cooperation between the men’s team, the women’s team and Football Canada.

The details were released as members of the women’s national team are scheduled to appear before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage on Thursday.

“We negotiated in good faith and want to reach a solution with our national team,” Canadian football general secretary Earl Cochrane said in a statement.

“To get there, we need our two national teams to agree. Our women deserve equal pay and they deserve the financial security to compete in the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023.”
