  + stars: | 2023-02-17 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
[1/5] Members of Canada's National Women's soccer team wear protest t-shirts before their match against the U.S. at the SheBelieves Cup women's soccer tournament in Orlando, Florida, U.S., February 16, 2023. The team's protest is the latest escalation in their dispute with Canada Soccer over pay equity issues. "Tonight, our players will be wearing purple as a symbol of protest," said the Canadian Players Association in a statement. The Canadians wore the purple t-shirts during warmups at Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Florida before changing into their traditional red kit but wearing purple tape on their wrists. The Olympic champions had boycotted training last Saturday while demanding immediate changes but reversed course later that day as Canada Soccer called their strike unlawful and threatened legal action.
☆ Canada women's team threaten to boycott next team camp over pay equity

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.
