The Ref Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Canada's Charmaine Hooper hands out fair play award during FIFA function Canadian Press Published: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 ZURICH (CP) - She didn't win an award, but Canadian soccer player Charmaine Hooper was on hand to make a presentation during the FIFA World Player Gala Monday night. Hooper, the former captain of the Canadian women's soccer team, presented the Fair Play Award for 2006, which went to the thousands of fans who made last summer's World Cup in Germany a success. "The success of the tournament would not have been possible without the presence of the many supporters who traveled to Europe from all over the world," Hooper said. Italy's World Cup-winning captain Fabio Cannavaro was named FIFA World Player of the Year while Marta, the 20-year-old Brazilian prodigy was named the Women's World Player. Hooper, defender Sharolta Nonen, and forward Christine Latham were suspended from the national team after failing to attend an exhibition series against China in August in a dispute with the Canadian Soccer Association over national team residency camps. The three players maintain they are being punished for not committing soon enough to a residency program funded by Greg Kerfoot, the millionaire owner of the Vancouver Whitecaps. The players believe the program pressures women to play for the Whitecaps' women's team, a charge the CSA denies. The matter is expected to be heard by the Sports Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada. © The Canadian Press 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
