Canada players end strike to continue Qatar 2022 preparations

Canada players have ended their strike to continue preparations for the 2022 World Cup but warned questions have yet to be answered and actions have yet to be taken .

The team, who qualified for the World Cup finals for the first time since 1986, had taken action in a dispute over Qatar 2022 prize money.

As a friendly against Panama had to be called off, Canada Soccer responded to reports players would receive only 10 per cent of the pot it received from FIFA.

Canada Soccer said it had proposed 30 per cent would go to the men s team, 30 per cent to the women s team and 40 per cent to the association.

The players, the association claimed, asked for somewhere between 75 and 100 per cent of the money. A letter from the players asked for 40 per cent.
