Canada Soccer withholds result of women’s Olympic tune-up against Nigeria

MARBELLA — Canada Soccer is withholding the result of a closed-door friendly Wednesday between the eighth-ranked Canadian women’s national team and 36th-ranked Nigeria in Marbella, Spain.

The match, which was not televised, was a final Olympic tune-up for the defending gold medallists before heading to the Paris Games.

Canada Soccer said it would not disclose the score but did not immediately respond to a request for comment elaborating on that decision.

According to Nigerian football websites and media that appeared to be on-site, Canada won the match 1-0.
