The proposed deal offered by Canada Soccer<\/a> would offer the same per-match pay for both national teams and would have the national teams sharing equal prize money from World Cup competitions.\u00a0<\/p>\nPlayers would be paid $3,500 per match, per player. There would also be win bonuses up to $5,000 per player, depending on the rank of the opposition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The women\u2019s national team would become the second-highest paid women\u2019s team among FIFA\u2019s 211-member associations, according to Canada Soccer. Players viewed the timing of the press release as insulting and disrespectful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUnlike the CSA we are not going to go into details about our bargaining here,\u201d Sinclair said.<\/p>\n
Information that was released in the offer was meant to be kept at the bargaining table. Some of the terms in the release contained information previously not shown to the CSPA, players said.<\/p>\n
The CSPA is still looking for answers regarding the media and sponsorship deal Canada Soccer has with the private company, Canadian Soccer Business. Specifically, players have asked to see how much money is coming in and where it is being directed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The details between Canada Soccer and the Canadian Soccer Business remain tight-lipped. Players want to know who signed the deal and why it was approved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEither they had no idea it was a terrible deal for Canada Soccer,\u201d Beckie said, \u201cor they knew it was a terrible deal and did it anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n
The complete financial picture remains a mystery and that in turn has hurt the negotiation position for the players. \u201cWe\u2019ve been negotiating in the dark,\u201d Beckie said.<\/p>\n
The contract Canada Soccer has with the Canadian Soccer Business brings in revenue and marketing funds from both national teams that goes to Canadian Soccer Business. That money is used in part to help fund the Canadian Premier League. It is unclear if any of the money goes to help women\u2019s soccer in Canada; it goes towards a men\u2019s professional league.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been successful with less and have been expected to do more with less,\u201d Beckie said. \u201cWe\u2019re so sick and tired of having to fight the same battles.\u201d<\/p>\n
The proposed deal from Canada Soccer revealed that the Canadian Soccer Business is in proactive discussions to amend its representation agreement, with the goal of providing incremental funding.<\/p>\n
During Thursday\u2019s testimony, it was also revealed that Canada Soccer interim president Charmaine Crooks has yet to reach out to members of the CSPA.<\/p>\n
The first interaction the players have received from Crooks was the detailed release of the CBA offer from Canada Soccer, players said.<\/p>\n
The Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage is scheduled to meet with Canada Soccer executives on Monday. Further hearings are also expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Canada\u2019s women\u2019s national team is scheduled to return to the pitch during the FIFA window in April when they visit France on April 11. It remains to be seen if the players will take any job action beforehand. France recently had a player uprising of its own before news this week of head coach Corinne Diacre\u2019s dismissal.<\/p>\n
