Canada Soccer’s Women’s National Team are set to take on Argentina on Thursday 6 October and Morocco on Monday 10 October at the International Football Festival in Cádiz, Spain. The festival acts as a stepping stone in preparation for the upcoming FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia/ New Zealand 2023™
Canada looks to build on its two wins against a highly-rated Australian side that featured forward Adriana Leon score three goals across the two games. Head coach Bev Priestman said that Leon’s performance and goal-scoring consistency are something that can’t be ignored.
“I get excited, I think the fans get excited,” said Priestman. “She’s different, she brings something different to the team.”
Argentina and Morocco are anticipated to play more defensively, a contrast to the playing style of previous opponents Australia. However, the change in competition simulates the various opponents and playing styles Canada may face at the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Priestman said she will also use this international break to help evaluate Canada’s squad depth. Evelyne Veins, who plays for Swedish team Damallsvenskan club Kristianstads, makes her way back to the roster after just missing the September camp.
“[Evelyne] is a number nine scoring with confidence [right now],” said Priestman. “All credit to Evelyne … I’m really excited to have [her] back and she’s worked really hard to get to where she’s got.”
Three NCAA players in Jade Rose, Simi Awujo and Zoe Burns were selected for the October camp. Priestman credited Awujo’s and Burn’s performance from the previous international break and said Rose did well to fill in for injured starters.
“You have the future in Jade Rose,” said Priestman. “She went in and had an incredible performance [against Australia] … She needs to do nothing different and just be Jade Rose.”
Canada’s October matches will be broadcast live on OneSoccer, available as a linear channel on Telus’s Optik TV (Channel 980) as well as online at OneSoccer.ca, through the OneSoccer app and on the fuboTV Canada platform. The Thursday match kicks off at 13.30 ET / 10.30 PT (19.30 local) while the Monday match kicks off at 10.30 ET / 07.30 PT (16.30 local). Fans will find extended coverage for the matches across Canada Soccer’s digital channels on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube featuring the hashtag #CANWNT.
