that is retroactive to last year after players threatened to boycott team activities at last month's SheBelieves Cup tournament.
With an agreement in place, details of the federation's funding are being finalized by legal counsel from both sides, the announcement said. After the players' action, Canada Soccer said that such a move amounted to an illegal strike, and the players acquiesced. But team captain Christine Sinclair said the team was playing in the SheBeleieves under protest.
Both national teams have raised questions about Canada Soccer and its relationship to Canadian Soccer Business. The CSB represents the federation in media and sponsorship deals and in turn it pays the federation a guaranteed sum per year. The CSB has not replied to emails from The Associated Press seeking comment.
