The Canadian Press is reporting that the Canadian Soccer Association (CSA) has made an offer to women's soccer head coach Carolina Morace in hopes that she will stay with the team at least until the London Olympics.
As was reported on this blog, Morace had threatened to leave the team after the upcoming World Cup in Germany due to a series of ongoing tensions between Morace and the CSA. The proposal that was given to Morace apparently includes monetary compensation for the women's team. The other elements of the proposal were not released, nor were details concerning the amount of compensation offered. The team had previously boycotted international competitions in support of their coach while also simultaneously retaining a lawyer to pursue an arbitration with CSA to ensure that they were being compensated equal to the men's team.
The women's athletes, they alleged, received less compensation for competing in international events than the men's team members did, even though the women's team has a much higher international ranking. They also complained, and this seemed to be their more pressing concern, that their compensation was unpredictable. While the men's team know how much they would be paid per international appearance, there was no such arrangement in place for the women, which left them unable to plan for their personal expenses.
It will be interesting to see if Morace accepts the proposal from CSA and whether or not the proposal also is able to resolve the ongoing dispute between CSA and the women's national team.
WISI will continue to track this story as it unfolds. Stay tuned!
