The federation "reluctantly" filed a lawsuit in federal court to confirm the validity of the current collective bargaining agreement, which has come into question.
U.S. Soccer has "reluctantly" filed a lawsuit against the U.S. women's national team players union in hopes of proving the validity of the current collective bargaining agreement, the federation announced Wednesday.
The action in federal court comes after new players union executive director Richard Nichols notified U.S. Soccer that he does not believe a CBA currently is in place. The federation argues that a valid agreement was reached in 2013 and will not expire until the end of 2016.
