Canada Soccer sponsor offers financial support to resolve dispute with women's team

GE Appliances says it is offering sponsorship money in hopes of helping resolve the labour impasse between Canada Soccer and the women's national team.

The company sent a letter to interim Canada Soccer president Charmaine Crooks expressing its "deep concern" regarding the dispute between the two sides and said it's prepared to put up $100,000 "in incremental sponsorship activation funding, explicitly targeted to support the women's team program.

The sides have been at odds for some time, with the women's team going on job action in February before quickly returning to the pitch due to Canada Soccer threatening legal action. The team competed at the SheBelieves Cup in protest shortly after. With the women having said more needs to be done to achieve labour peace and the Women's World Cup coming up in July, Park believes the time is now to settle things.
