Canada lost 0:2 to Costa Rica in the semi-final match on 24 July. It was Canada’s first lost in the tournament after finishing first in the Group B with a perfect 3-0-0 record.

While Canada and Mexico will fight for the final CONCACAF spot to the inaugural FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup New Zealand 2008, the United States will face Costa Rica in the gold-medal match. The United States won its semi-final 1:0 over Mexico on 24 July. Both the United States and Costa Rica have qualified for the FIFA tournament.

Canada’s women’s U-17 team, whose title sponsor is BMO Financial Group, is part of one of the best women’s programs in the world.
