Canada's training session in Vancouver was canceled due to ongoing discussions for World Cup bonuses.
The coaching staff of Canada Soccer set up equipment at the Vancouver Whitecaps' training facility, then quickly packed it up and left the field minutes before the session began.
“Canada Soccer are currently in discussions with their national team players pertaining to fair and equitable player compensation ahead of the FIFA World Cup period,” Canada's FA said.
The squad is now in Vancouver, Canada, ahead of a friendly encounter against Panama on Sunday. On June 9, Canada will host Curacao in a CONCACAF Nations League match.
On the day of the international break, Toronto FC midfielder Jonathan Osorio spoke with The Canadian Press about the World Cup bonus discussions.
“I think the players what we ask for is fair,” he said.
“We don’t want to be treated any more special than similar teams that we compare ourselves to. We just want to be respected and not taken advantage of and just given our fair share.” he added.
