Norway heads up Group A, where the three other teams have one combined World Cup win; Australia and Canada appear strong in Group B.
Canada lost one of its key players, forward Janine Beckie, to an ACL injury while she was playing in a preseason match for the Portland Thorns earlier this year. Beckie recently made her 100th appearanace for Canada against Brazil at the SheBelieves Cup in February. Captain Christine Sinclair, who made her debut for Canada aged 16 in March 2000, is the all-time leading scorer in international soccer with 190 goals.
Over the last few months, the team has been in dispute with Canada Soccer over issues of equal pay and budget cuts. The women’s national team reached an interim funding agreement, retroactive to last year, after threatening to boycott team activities at the SheBelieves Cup. The team ended up competing in the SheBelieves Cup, finishing with a victory over Brazil and losses to the United States and Japan. Overall, Canada is 8-7-3 against Australia.
