Canada sets roster for women’s soccer celebration tour in B.C.

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.
