The Canadian men's national soccer team said on Monday it will return to training after refusing to play a friendly against Panama over stalled contract negotiations with Canada Soccer. Qatar marks just the second time Canada has qualified for the World Cup and the first since 1986. "Canada Soccer senior leaders and the Men's National Team players met on Sunday night to continue the negotiation process. The players also called for an equitable compensation package for Canada's national women's team and the development of a domestic women's league. "We move forward in hopes that Canada Soccer will work with us to resolve the situation."
