​“It’s a great opportunity for us, for our team, to show our game,” said Morace. “I think also it’s important we play more matches in Canada because I want the people to love our team.”

​Tickets to the 25 May match cost between $15-$35 each. Group rates are available in numerous sections with the purchase of 10 or more tickets. Canada holds a current six-game unbeaten streak at home, including a 1:1 draw against Olympic silver medalist Brazil last 10 July 2008.

​Tuesday’s press conference was Morace’s second visit to Toronto as Canada’s women’s head coach. She was originally presented on 5 February before heading off to camps in Los Angeles and Rome. Morace and her new team then reached the final at the 2009 Cyprus Women’s Cup, only losing to England in the competition final.

​Morace now has two months to prepare before her first home test on 25 May at BMO Field. Most players have returned to their clubs, including several that play in the new Women’s Professional Soccer league that kicks off this weekend.
