Canada, whose title sponsor is Winners and presenting sponsor is Teck, is coming off a 2:1 victory over Sweden to close out its 2011 international season. In a record 24 matches this year, Canada posted 14 wins, four draws and six losses. Canada’s win over Sweden on 22 November also set a national record for wins in a season.

The 2012 CONCACAF Women’s Olympic Qualifying runs 19-29 January at BC Place. Canada’s first three matches are 19 January against Haiti, 21 January against Cuba, and 23 January against Costa Rica.
\u200bShould Canada finish first or second in its group, it will advance to the 27 January semi-final match against the first- or second-place team from the opposite group (either USA, Mexico, Guatamala or Dominican Republic).

This will mark the first time a CONCACAF Women’s Olympic Qualifying tournament is played in Canada. The top-two teams from the eight-team competition will qualify for the London 2012 Women’s Olympic Football Tournament. USA and Canada were the two qualifiers in April 2008; Canada, Mexico, USA and Costa Rica were the four-best teams at the most recent CONCACAF women’s championship in October 2011.
