The United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) and Canada’s women’s soccer team gathered in a circle moments before kickoff on Thursday to show solidarity with the Canadians in their equal pay dispute with the national federation ahead of their opening match of the SheBelieves Cup at Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Florida. Canada’s players wore purple T-shirts that read “Enough is enough” before kickoff, choosing purple as a “symbol of protest,” the Canadian Soccer Players’ Association (CSPA) said in a statement prior to the game. “Purple has historically been associated with efforts to achieve gender equality,” the statement added. “Considering the current circumstances, our players will continue to wear purple until our association has standards in place that ensure equal treatment and opportunity.”
Both teams wore purple tape around their wrists “in the name of gender equality,” the USWNT Players Association said in a statement, in a show of support for the Canadian women. The white tape on their other wrist with “Defend Trans Joy” written on it was to support trans rights, the statement added. Players from Canada’s women’s soccer team said Wednesday that they are participating at the SheBelieves Cup under “protest” due to their gender pay equity dispute with the national federation remaining unresolved. Last week, the team called off its strike a day after it was announced and resumed training after the sport’s governing body Canada Soccer threatened legal action, players said on February 11.
The SheBelieves Cup, presented by Visa, is just one part of U.S. Soccer’s SheBelieves initiative to inspire and empower women and girls to achieve their goals in sport and beyond. The tournament, which will feature six total games, was first played in 2016. The USA won the inaugural edition, France took top honors in 2017, the USA won again in 2018, England finished first in 2019 and the USA returned to the top of the podium in 2020, 2021 and 2022.The tournament format for the 2023 SheBelieves Cup will be the same as the first seven years. The winner will be determined by total points (three for a win, one for a draw), with the first tiebreaker being overall goal difference, followed by goals scored, then head-to-head result. If teams are still tied, the next tiebreaker will be the Fair Play ranking based on yellow and red cards. Each team is allowed six substitutes per game over three sub opportunities and two concussions subs, if necessary. Halftime subs, concussion substitutions and/or additional substitutions due to an opponent’s concussion sub do not count against the three opportunities limit.
