SAAC the CSA
I urge everyone to have a listen to the Dino Rossi interview from today’s It’s Called Football Weekly show. You can find it below this post. Although the Jeff Cunningham interview is undoubtedly sexier, the issues that Dino touch upon are vital to the future of the sport in Canada.
In summery, Dino updated us on the ongoing efforts of the Soccer Academies Association of Canada (SAAC) to get its players registered by the CSA. It seems like a fairly innocent request, and it’s actually mandated by FIFA to happen, but yet soccer officials in this country continue to drag their feet.
Dino was somewhat diplomatic in his answer as to why there is a resistance to registering the SAAC players. He can’t afford to piss too many people off in his role on the Board of Directors at SAAC. However, I can state it a little clearer.
