Canada Soccer has been asked to deliver a copy of its controversial agreement with Canadian Soccer Business to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage by Friday.
A motion Tuesday by Housefather asked that “as part of the committee’s safe sport study, the committee orders Soccer Canada to produce an unredacted copy of all contracts including but not limited to the representation agreement that it has with Canadian Soccer Business.” The Canadian women are demanding the same backing in preparing for this summer’s Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand that the men received last year before Qatar. And they want Canada Soccer to open its books, including its deal with Canadian Soccer Business, and explain the cuts being made to both the men’s and women’s programs this year.
The Canadian women briefly went on strike before the recent SheBelieves Cup in Florida but were forced back onto the pitch by threats of legal action by Canada Soccer. The “representation agreement” with Canada Soccer was for a 10-year term. CSB CEO Mark Noonan, who doubles as the Canadian Premier League commissioner, says it could last a further five years via a possible extension.
