Nov 27 (Reuters) - BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, will be renamed "Christine Sinclair Place" for one night next week in honour of the captain's final match with the women's international team, Canada Soccer said on Monday. Sinclair, who is the world's all-time leading international goalscorer, announced her retirement from the Canada women's national team in October and her final game will be on Dec. 5 against Australia. "The legacy of Christine's career has and will live on beyond her tremendous accomplishments on the field," Canada Soccer President Charmaine Crooks said in a news release. The 40-year-old Sinclair's international career includes a record 190 goals for Canada, an Olympic gold medal and six World Cup appearances. Sinclair still plans to play for Portland Thorns in the National Women's Soccer League next season and after that expects to remain involved with the game in some capacity.

☆ Record-holder Shiffrin looks to break new ground in downhill
  + stars: | 2023-04-27 | by ( Amy Tennery | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Shiffrin surpassed Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark's record with an 87th World Cup win last month and then extended her haul to 88 titles as she etched her name in the pantheon of sporting greats. A slalom specialist by trade, having won 53 of her World Cup golds in the event compared to just three in the downhill - the 28-year-old wants to broaden her skillset. "I don't think I could ever switch from slalom to downhill. But I do feel like I want to branch more into exploring what my abilities are in downhill," said Shiffrin. So I feel, like, quite comfortable - slalom giant, slalom super-G - but downhill is a little bit of an unexplored world for me."
☆ Canada women's coach says players 'drained' amid pay equity dispute
  + stars: | 2023-02-15 | by ( Frank Pingue | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Feb 15 (Reuters) - Canada head coach Bev Priestman said on Wednesday the dispute between the women's team and national governing body over pay equity issues and budget cuts has left her squad emotionally drained when their focus should be on World Cup preparations. The reigning Olympic champions boycotted training last Saturday while demanding immediate changes but reversed course later that day as Canada Soccer called their strike unlawful and also threatened legal action. The squad said they would play under protest at the four-nation SheBelieves Cup that starts this week in the United States but promised future boycotts if their demands over pay equity are not met. "The biggest thing is I'm committed to this group of players and I've shared some incredible moments with them. But my aim is to be with this group of players and to share more incredible moments."
☆ Canada women's team threaten to boycott next team camp over pay equity
  + stars: | 2023-02-14 | by ( Lori Ewing | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Feb 14 (Reuters) - Canada's women's team will play at this month's SheBelieves Cup under protest but the Olympic champions say their fight is far from over and have vowed future boycotts if their demands over pay equity are not met. "So (playing this tournament under protest) is a short-term solution," added the forward. The players said the "disgusting" discrepancy between the Canada men’s and women’s soccer programmes became obvious last year in Qatar, where Canada's men made their first World Cup appearance in 37 years in November. And as national team players, it’s one we’re determined to win.”The CSA spent $11 million on the men’s programme in 2021, and $5.1 million on the women. Japan, the 2011 world champions, and Brazil round out the field for the SheBelieves Cup, which takes place in Orlando, Florida, Nashville, Tennessee and Frisco, Texas.
