“Canada Soccer is calling on the Edmonton and Alberta soccer community to continue to build on the positive momentum they created when over 22,000 boisterous fans came out to support Canada’s Women’s U-20 Team in its quarter-final match of the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Canada 2014,” said Victor Montagliani, Canada Soccer President and Chair of the National Organizing Committee for the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™. “We know Edmonton is a proud supporter of Canadian soccer and we want to see you show our team once more the support they can expect to receive when they step on the field for the opening match of the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ next summer.”

Edmonton is one of the six Official Host Cities for the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ and will have the privilege of hosting the world’s largest women’s football tournament opening match on 6 June 2015.

Canada will play its first two group phase matches at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton and will count on a strong showing from the fans to help them progress in the tournament. Then, and in the preparatory matches to be played this fall, Canada’s Women’s National Team will aim to get ever closer to being Better Than Best in their quest to a greater goal.
