After getting a taste of gold at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, the Canadian women’s national team is hungry for more.
With the FIFA Women’s World Cup kicking off on Thursday in Australia and New Zealand, Team Canada will have an opportunity to add to a trophy cabinet that seems to get more crowded every tournament.Though Canada is ranked No. 7 in the world, the odds aren’t exactly in the team’s favour.
With 190 international goals – the most by any soccer player in their career – you would think that Sinclair would be the first name on the team sheet up top. The team threatened to boycott the SheBelieves Cup over a pay dispute with Canada Soccer earlier this year before reaching an interim agreement.

Priestman upped the ante by taking home gold at the Tokyo Games in 2021 and now faces the tough task of becoming the first team to win the Women’s World Cup as defending Olympic champions since the U.S. won at the 1996 Olympics and 1999 WWC. While Canada is a heavy favourite to take all three points from the opener, the Super Falcons should not be overlooked. Nigeria has won the Africa Cup of Nations a record 11 times and has qualified for every Women’s World Cup. Despite that record, it has advanced from the group stage just twice and reached the quarterfinals once, in 1999.
