Fresh off their record fourth World Cup title, the U.S. women's national soccer team is continuing its fight for equal pay.

"In the current situation, only four weeks before the scheduled start of training camp, Fury FC is unable to sign players or sell tickets because of the uncertainty surrounding the team's future," said Mark Goudie, president and CEO of the Fury's parent Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group.

The owners of Edmonton's professional soccer team announced Friday morning the franchise has ceased operations effective immediately.
