Quebec Association: Quebec Soccer Federations

Quebec Soccer Federations: The national organization took a more aggressive stance Monday in the ongoing controversy surrounding the Quebec Soccer Federations decision to restrict turban-wearing Sikhs from the pitch, saying its earlier efforts had failed to resolve the matter, according to 660 News. The national organization said last week it expected the Quebec association to reverse the ban, which has drawn international news coverage and condemnation from several federal politicians and MONTREAL The Canadian Soccer Association has red carded a provincial association over its refusal to let turban-wearing children play, announcing the Quebec organization will be suspended until the ban is overturned. The Quebec Soccer Federations inaction has forced us to take measures in order to ensure soccer remains accessible to the largest number of Canadians, it said in a statement Monday night.
