Canada will begin its journey in the Dominican Republic for the 2023 Concacaf Women’s Under-17 Qualifiers on Saturday 26th August. The 2023 Women’s Under-17 Championship qualifying competition will be played between August 25 – September 2, in four different countries with six different groups in the qualification competition. Canada coach Emma Humphries has selected a group of 21 players that will face group F opponents Dominica, Guyana and Bermuda.
“I am really looking forward to getting this group together,” said Emma Humphries, Canada Soccer’s Women’s U-17 National Team Head Coach. “This will be our first camp and the start of this next FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup cycle. It is a great opportunity to assess the player pool across the country and also gain valuable experience in a World Cup qualification tournament.”
Canada will face Dominica on Saturday 26 August (15.00 ET / 12.00 PT), Guyana on Monday 28 August (18.00 ET / 15.00 PT) and Bermuda on Wednesday 30 August (18.00 ET / 15.00 PT) across their group phase at Félix Sánchez Stadium, Dominican Republic. From there, the six group winners will advance to the 2024 Concacaf Women’s Under-17 Championship, joining Mexico and the United States, who have been seeded directly into the Championship’s group stage.

\u200bCANADA SOCCER’S WOMEN’S NATIONAL TEAM
\u200bCanada are Olympic champions (Tokyo 2020), two-time bronze medal winners (2012 and 2016), and two-time Concacaf champions (1998 and 2010). In all, Canada have participated in eight consecutive editions of the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ (1995 to 2023) and four consecutive editions of the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament (2008 to 2021). At Tokyo 2020, Canada Soccer’s Women’s National Team became the first Canadian team to win three consecutive medals at the Summer Olympic Games and just the third nation in the world to win three medals in women’s soccer.
Canada Soccer’s Women’s National Youth Teams, meanwhile, have won four Concacaf youth titles: the 2004 and 2008 Concacaf Women’s Under-20 Championship, the 2010 Concacaf Women’s Under-17 Championship, and the 2014 Concacaf Girls’ Under-15 Championship. Canada have qualified for eight editions of the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup (including a silver medal at Canada 2002) and all seven editions of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup (including a fourth-place finish at Uruguay 2018).
