Canada Women have become the first 'international XI' to join Common Goal, the movement that has seen players from all over the world pledge to donate at least 1% of their salary to charitable causes that use football as a tool to bring about positive social change.
Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata became the first player to make the 1% pledge in 2017 and was soon joined by international stars Mats Hummels and Giorgio Chiellini.
USWNT stars Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe became the first female players to sign up, with Common Goal now backed by close to 100 players, with near gender parity, and having already generated as much as $1.
