Association representing Canadian women’s team files lawsuit against Canada Soccer
Associated PressTORONTO — The Canadian Soccer Players’ Association, which represents the Canadian women’s team, has filed a $40 million lawsuit against 15 current and former board members of Canada Soccer alleging “negligence and breach of fiduciary duty.” The association’s statement of claim was filed Tuesday in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The lawsuit alleges the CSB deal “has created and continues to create serious risk to the ability of Canada Soccer to carry out its mandate.” “The 2018 Canada Soccer board knew or should have known that the CSB agreement would, at best, deprive Canada Soccer of revenue that could be spent on development, and at worst, could compromise Canada Soccer’s ability to operate as a going concern,” says the lawsuit. “We have been made aware of a legal proceeding filed by the Canadian Soccer Players’ Association against the members of the 2018 Canada Soccer board,” said a Canada Soccer spokesman. To be honest, it’s not just something that’s being talked about among the players at this point in camp.” Both the Canadian men’s and women’s teams are currently negotiating labor agreements with Canada Soccer.
