Source: Canada Soccer comes to terms with Alphonso Davies on name/image rights
Canada Soccer has come to terms on an agreement with Alphonso Davies, its marquee man, on name/image likeness rights, according to a source.
The deal just needs final signatures, according to the source who requested anonymity because the agreement has yet to be announced.
Davies became the latest hot spot between Canada Soccer and its players last week when TSN reported that Davies’ representative had told Fanatics, which runs Canada Soccer’s merchandise website and sell licensed sports goods, that it no longer had permission to sell Davies’ jersey because the governing body does not have an agreement to market the Bayern Munich fullback’s likeness and image.
Name/image likeness rights have been an issue in talks between Canada Soccer and the players ahead of the World Cup, Davies’ jersey is by far the biggest-seller among the Canadian men.
