Canada Soccer and the women\u0027s national team have agreed on an interim funding agreement that is retroactive to last year.
The women’s team said last month that players would not take part in team activities at the SheBelieves Cup tournament in February. Canada was among four teams participating in the round-robin tournament that visited three cities.
During the anthems before each match, players wore purple shirts that read “Enough is Enough” and then wore purple armbands during the games. The purple was a symbol for equity. American and Japanese players also wore purple armbands in solidarity. The women want the same backing ahead of this summer’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand as the men received at their World Cup in Qatar last year. The two teams also want an explanation for why their programs are being cut this year.
