Canada women's national team and Canada Soccer have reached an agreement over an interim funding deal for 2022, it has been announced.
The governing body announced the deal in principle on Thursday and says it's similar to the deal with the men's national team, which includes per-game incentives and results-based compensation.
“This is about respect, this is about dignity, and this is about equalising the competitive environment in a world that is fundamentally unequal,” Canada Soccer’s General Secretary Earl Cochrane said. “We have been consistent and public about the need to have fairness and equal pay be pillars of any new agreements with our players, and we are delivering on that today.
