Canada opened the 2023 Concacaf Women’s Under-20 Qualifiers with a 15:0 win over Martinique at Estadio Panamericano. The Friday win featured 10 different Canadian goalscorers, setting a new all-time record for Canada Soccer’s National Teams. Substitutes Nyah Rose and Olivia Smith each scored a hat trick, Annabelle Chukwu scored a goal in each half, while starters Thae Mouratidis, Florianne Jourde, Ella Ottey, Jeneva Hernandez Gray, Zoe Markesini, Rosa Maalouf and Jaime Perrault each scored one. Goalkeeper Coralie Lallier and her backline posted the clean sheet while midfielder Olivia Smith was named player of the match.

“We want to qualify for the FIFA U-20 World Cup and we’re using every day as an opportunity, so even in games like this, it’s important for the players to stay focused and build for the next day,” said Cindy Tye, Canada Soccer’s Women U-20 Coach. “We’re happy with the result, but now we’ll rest and reset for our match against St. Vincent and the Grenadines.”
