CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani and former Canada Soccer president Nick Bontis defended Canada Soccer's controversial deal with Canadian Soccer Business on Thursday, telling a parliamentary committee that the contract provided the governing body with more guaranteed revenue that it had received previously.

Montagliani said that before the CSB agreement there was "absolutely no domestic media market" for national team games and Canada Soccer had to spend its own money to showcase its national teams on TV."I can tell you the principle of this agreement is no different than what happens throughout the world.

Critics say the deal is too rigid, too long and doesn't allow for Canada Soccer to benefit from the recent success of the men's and women's national teams. Canada Soccer has acknowledged it is looking to renegotiate part of the agreement.Bloc Quebecois MP Sebastien Lemire asked why Canada Soccer did not help create a women's league at the same time as the CPL.Bontis said Canada Soccer sanctions leagues not create them, leaving that to private investors.

"I think the other thing that is being communicated to the public is that this is an organization run by men for men," she said. "What matters is she felt that I treated her concerns disrespectfully. I feel terrible about making her feel this way," he added Bontis, who is chair of strategic management at the DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University, remains a vice-president on the CONCACAF Council.He was president of the B.C. Soccer Association and served as vice-president of Canada Soccer from 2005 to 2012 before being elected president. He was first elected CONCACAF president in 2016, beating out FIFA appeals panel chairman Larry Mussenden 25-16 in a vote at the FIFA Congress in Mexico City.

Check his bank account or friends relatives etc. Because clearly someone somewhere got a boatload of cash to sign this deal. Soccers popularity has only risen realitivley recently so yes money was low but now huge. All sponsors souls insist contract gone and board removed.

Canada sucks at soccer but qualify as host nation ,l hope they enjoy their 3 games before they get eliminated .

CSA: let’s funnel most of our money to this deal, which robs national teams the ability to properly train and develop (already seeing how poorly we’re doing at youth levels) so we can develop a men’s league (no women’s league) as a requirement to host 2 World Cup groups in 2026.

LOL
