  • CSA gives QSF until Monday


    Guest

    Canadian Soccer News has learned that the Canadian Soccer Association has given the Quebec Soccer Federation until Monday to reverse its stance on banning the use turbans by their players, or face punishment.

    The source within the QSF confirmed that the Quebec Federation has received the demand from the CSA on the matter and is now considering their next step.

    The QSF source would not reveal what the threats could mean for provincial soccer in Quebec but did confirm that the CSA was furious over the debacle, especially considering this is not the example Canadian soccer wanted to set ahead of hosting the Women's World Cup in 2015.

    CSA sources declined to comment on their handling of the matter but one did curiously note that it was strange that Montreal Impact owner Joey Saputo had not taken steps to distance himself from the QSF's handling of the issue.

    Earlier today, FIFA confirmed that their stance on the use of turbans in soccer games was already established and that the QSF must defer to the CSA on the matter.

    Last night, CSN called for immediate resignation of Quebec Soccer Federation president and CSA board member, Martial Prudhomme, after he violated several CSA board of director ethical codes and put himself in a clear case of conflict of interest by allowing the QSF to uphold the ban.
