Canada-Brazil international women’s soccer friendly sells out quickly in Halifax
HALIFAX — Canada’s women’s soccer friendly against Brazil in Halifax is a sellout, just 20 minutes after tickets went on sale to the general public.
The 10th-ranked Canadians face No. 9 Brazil at Oct. 31 at Halifax’s Wanderers Grounds three days after the teams meet at Montreal’s Saputo Stadium.
It’s the women’s first game in the Maritimes since May 2012, when Canada defeated China 1-0 in Moncton, N.B.
Wanderers Ground, home to the Canadian Premier League’s HFX Wanderers FC, can accommodate some 6,400 spectators. Saputo Stadium, where CF Montreal plays, has a capacity of some 20,800.
