Episode Details

Alberta Soccers president, Junior Figueiredo, faces a five-year suspension due to a workplace harassment claim. However, delegates at the annual general meeting have intervened, sending his case to an independent disciplinary committee for a fair hearing. Figueiredo, who was elected in February 2025, was suspended in August following a complaint. Despite bylaws calling for an independent review, the board acted swiftly. Member groups challenged the decision, but their appeals were unsuccessful. The delegates recent decision to override the board and enforce the bylaws has created a leadership shakeup, with five new directors joining the board and no interim president in place. Figueiredos hearing is upcoming, keeping the spotlight on Alberta Soccers leadership dynamics.
