Canada’s Women’s National Team has announced the 19-player roster for its upcoming International Friendly matches against France and England.
Both matches will be streamed online on Sportsnet.ca, in addition to the pre and post match coverage that will be available across Canada Soccer’s platforms.
This European trip will see the Canadians face off against familiar foes, as it will be the first time the team plays France since the hard fought bronze medal match at the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament at London 2012. Canada also just recently lost 0:1 to England in the 2013 Cyprus Cup final.
“Once again going into this camp our focus will be on our performance as a team rather than the result,” said John Herdman, Head Coach of Canada’s Women’s National Team. “We will be facing two teams that are EURO contenders, while we are two years away from our next big competition. We need to look at these matches as opportunities for us to develop and prepare players for the type of performance we require to be successful in 2015/2016.”
Canada’s roster for these European friendlies feature 17 players that were part of the recent Cyprus Cup squad, while 14 were on the Olympic team last summer.
