Canada Soccer has announced the roster for a pair of women’s friendly matchups against Nigeria set to take place in B.C. next month.
The 29-person squad features all 22 players who won gold at the Tokyo Olympics in August, plus seven up-and-coming talents who head coach Bev Priestman wants to get into the national team mix as the group prepares for the crucial CONCACAF W Championship tournament this summer.
Legend Christine Sinclair highlights the roster, coming in with 308 international appearances for Canada.
The 38-year-old forward, who broke the international goal scoring record when she put away her 185th goal in January 2020, will get a hometown celebration at Vancouver’s B.C. Place on April 8.
The 33rd-ranked Canadians will also face No. 41 Nigeria at Starlight Stadium in Langford, B.C., on April 11.
The team also features goalkeeper Stephanie Labbe, who will play her final games after announcing her retirement in January.
