The Canadian men's national team may be forced NOT to play during the international windows due to a crippling financial situation that could ultimately lead to bankruptcy.
Interim general secretary and former Dundee United defender Jason de Vos, has painted a grim picture for the likes of Celtic's Alistair Johnston and co that could see top stars being unable to represent their country. Canada were part of the Qatar 2022 World Cup but de Vos says Canada Soccer's financial situation is becoming a 'real struggle' and that the option of bankruptcy has already been discussed.
The men's side are due to compete in the Gold Cup next week, while the women's team are part of the summer World Cup. But both teams may have to withdraw from upcoming games, including international windows throughout the remainder of the year. It's believed the federation 'burned through' more than $4 million last year with an independent review underway due to a “lack of financial transparency.”
