Canada’s first game will be in Canada on July 20th (Friday 21st in Australia). The Maple Leaf take on 11-time African champions Nigeria at Melbourne’s Rectangular Stadium.
I’m proud to name this dynamic and exciting roster,” said Priestman. Everyone gave everything to fight for their place. We have a good mix of experienced athletes and new players, each bringing something different.
Sinclair will be participating in a World Championship for the sixth time.
The 40-year-old British-Colombian has scored in each of the previous five editions.
Sinclair is the all-time leading scorer in women’s football with 190 goals for the senior team.
