Kailen Sheridan save recognized with 2024 Allstate Good Hands® Award

Canadian soccer fans across the nation have voted Kailen Sheridan’s outstanding save against the Costa Rica at 2024 Concacaf W Gold Cup as the winner of the 2024 Allstate Canadian National Teams Good Hands® Award.

Sheridan’s save came in the 90^th+ minute of the Quarter-Final match at the Concacaf W Gold Cup, at BMO Stadium, as Canada Soccer’s Women’s National Team battled for the chance to move on to the Semi-Finals. With the match locked at 0-0- with at the conclusion of regular time, Costa Rican midfielder Camila Gómez Ares struck a fierce shot, in added time of the second half, towards the Canadian goal. With the ball tracking towards the bottom left corner, Sheridan stretched wide with a spectacular reactionary save, keeping the match at nil-nil, pushing the match into extra time, where Canada ended up scoring the all-important winning goal,  and moving on to the Semi-Finals. 

The Allstate Good Hands® Award, which recognizes the top save by a Canada Soccer National Team goalkeeper during international play, was chosen by fans during the online voting period which ran from 9 to 14 December 2024. Allstate will present Sheridan with the 2024 Good Hands® Award at a future National Team home match.

Neal Muschett, Allstate Canada’s Director of Marketing commented, “We believe in Good Hands at Allstate, but Kailen’s great Kick Save against Costa Rica was truly a Beauty.”

With the presentation of the Canada Soccer National Teams Allstate Good Hands® Award, a productive ninth year of partnership between Canada Soccer and Allstate Insurance Company of Canada is completed. The partnership, continuing into 2025, with Allstate Canada and its Agents committed to continuing their support of Canadian soccer at every level, in close to 100 communities nation-wide.\
