Lionesses wear purple wristbands in support of Canada Women’s team & gender equality by Michelle
Arsenal Women’s Leah Williamson and all England Women’s National Team (NWT) players are today wearing purple wristbands as they take on Italy in the Arnold Clark Cup, which is underway now at Coventry Arena. The Canadian NWT are in protest against the Canada Soccer Association (CSA) because of concerns over funding cuts and pay inequality.
The whole Canada NWT, including Arsenal’s Sabrina D’Angelo, wore purple T-shirts with the phrase “enough is enough” in protest before their 2-0 loss to the USA in the SheBelieves Cup in Orlando, Florida this week. See full report below.
