Canada Soccer’s Women’s National Team to play Argentina and Morocco during October 2022 international window

Canada Soccer’s Women’s National Team will travel to Cadiz, Spain during the October 2022 FIFA international window to face Argentina and Morocco in a pair of international “A” friendly matches. Canada will first face Argentina on Thursday 6 October and will later play Morocco on Monday 10 October 2022. Both matches will be played at Estadio Municipal de Chapín in Jerez, Spain.

“This window gives us the opportunity to experience different styles of opposition that will come with the expanded 32-nation FIFA Women’s World Cup,“ said Bev Priestman, Canada Soccer’s Women’s National Team Head Coach. “I’m glad we secured two nations that have qualified and who we could very much face next summer. There are still some players missing with injuries and so I hope we can continue to assess players in the wider pool and see them take their opportunity to step up as we saw many do in Australia. This is the last window before the FIFA Women’s World Cup draw and so from this window we are excited to learn our path and finalise 2022-2023 planning”

Canada won both of their matches in the September window against Australia, a 1:0 victory on Saturday 3 September and the 2:1 victory on Tuesday 6 September 2022. They were Canada’s first two international matches since the Concacaf W Championship as the squad now focuses squarely on the FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023.
