PFA Canada

Canada's first union for professional soccer players. Providing a voice for professional footballers on the national and international stage.

[PFA Canada @canada_pfa]

Collective bargaining doesn't mean parties are adversaries; it means they are partners. Everyone in the soccer family in Canada wants to see a successful CPL, especially players. Giving players a formal voice only enhances the credibility of the CPL, both here and abroad.

A massive congratulations to all involved with @CPLCavalryFC

Though quite a cold night by West Coast standards, it was definitely heartwarming to share the moment with the thousands of fans who made their way to Starlight.

History made. Our @CPLsoccer goes forward.

@MLBPA Statement on ballpark construction in Richmond, Virginia:

[Armen Bedakian @ArmenBedakian]

The Canadian Premier League is one of the most underrated leagues in the world when it comes to the quality of the play, its achievements on the continental level and its success in player development toward its national team at all levels, relative to the number of years it’s been operating.

What other startup league in world football is doing everything #CanPL has already done?

[FIFPRO @FIFPRO]

🚨📉 According to #FIFPRO's latest workload report, leading players are seeing their time off fall to as little as 12% of the calendar year, the equivalent of less than one full day off per week.

🗣️ "We're destroying their careers, and by extension destroying the show."

Congratulations @EustaquioMauro !

And once again, further proof why investing in 🇨🇦 ⚽️ & the talent on & off-the-pitch makes sense.

[Inter Toronto Football Club @inter__toronto]

"I think he will rise to become a top coach in this part of the world."

This Labour Day, whilst advocating for its members & place in the sport, PFA Canada remains grateful for the contributions & sacrifices of those in the labour movement who came before us

Their commitment to decency is why we have a voice today. Thank you.

[MLBPA @MLBPA]

A #LaborDay message from the MLBPA:

[MLSPA @MLSPA]

"What we have built is on the shoulders of the guys before us." 

Happy #LaborDay!

For our union members, it's all about playing it forward. Through their service, they honor the sacrifices of the players who came before them and work to ensure the next generation inherits an even better league.

[CFLPA @CFLPA]

"On each CFL game day, our members risk their physical well-being for their profession. As athletes, we are pursuing the same protections and rights that every other worker in Canada receives"
