USL players plan protest against US Soccer ahead of U.S. Open Cup amid tense CBA dispute | Goal.com UK

USL players will wear protest T-shirts before U.S. Open Cup matches to pressure for a new CBA.
The protest targets the U.S. Soccer Federation as playing a role in setting professional standards.
USLPA says the current system prioritizes expansion over day-to-day professional standards.
The protests follow earlier demonstrations at the season's start when players stood still for a minute.
The protest will involve players from Vermont Green, Portland Hearts of Pine, Indy Eleven and Des Moines Menace.
The shirts will be removed before kickoff.
The USLPA says professional standards should be recognized across the sport.
The dispute centers on a new CBA after the previous deal expired at the start of 2026.
Negotiations have been ongoing for months with no near-term agreement, under the terms of the old deal.
The protest aims to push for professional standards in U.S. soccer at multiple levels.
