Wambach, players go to court over World Cup turf


The push to get Canada to stage the Women's World Cup on grass instead of artificial turf is now a legal matter, with American star Abby Wambach and a group of players 'fully prepared to go forward zealously and aggressively in court' to force a change, their lawyer said yesterday.

The players, who have no plans to boycott next year's tournament, allege gender discrimination because the men's World Cup is always staged on grass. A lawsuit was filed on Wednesday at the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal, naming FIFA and the Canadian Soccer Association as defendants.
