Canada’s women’s soccer team says it reached an interim compensation deal with Canada Soccer.
In a statement released on social media on Friday, the team said the agreement will provide payment for 2023, including prize money allocation from the Women’s World Cup, which is currently being contested in Australia and New Zealand.
Canada, the reigning Olympic champion, plays its final group-stage match against the Australians on Monday, when a win or draw will mean it qualifies for the knockout stage.
The Canadian women said the deal ensures equal pay to the men’s team “within the constraints created by Canada Soccer’s financial situation.”
