Canada Soccer's recent revised compensation proposal to its players is a sign of progress but a deal has yet to be reached, says Canadian international Mark-Anthony Kaye.
The Canadian men have formed a players association as compensation negotiations continued, following the lead of the women’s team, which is represented by the Canadian Soccer Players Association .The new association covers players who have been called into any men’s national team camp since January 2021.
The hope is the impasse can be resolved by the Nov. 20 start of the World Cup in Qatar. But both sides have said there are issues that could be resolved post-Qatar.Canada qualifies for its 1st men’s World Cup in 36 years – Mar 28, 2022 Two issues of immediate concern are the split of tournament prize money and help provided to players’ friends and family looking to go to the tournament.Kaye says he is working on finalizing the travel details of his friends and family.
“Obviously it’s a stress. But Canada Soccer is doing, I think, more than what a lot of countries are doing for their players in terms of the friends and family package,” said Kaye. “It’s just about getting it finalized and getting across the line in terms of making sure all the little details feel good for the players and also for Canada Soccer.
“But they are working hard to get that done. They’ve made huge improvements on the friends and family package.”“I’m narrowing all that down now, just seeing who I can bring and what that looks like,” said Laryea, currently on loan to Toronto from England’s Nottingham Forest. “So hopefully I’ll have that sorted in a little bit like the rest of the guys on the team.”The Canadian men, currently ranked 41st in the world, open World Cup play Nov. 23 against second-ranked Belgium.
