Canada’s women’s national team will face Japan in an international friendly match on 30 August. The match will be played in Japan just before Canada heads to China for the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Canada has faced Japan seven times since their first encounter on 5 May 1995. Canada’s record against Japan is two wins, two draws and three losses. At the FIFA Women’s World Cup, however, Canada has posted a 0:0 draw (19 June 1999) and 3:1 win (27 September 2003) in two matches against Japan.

Dale Mitchell’s reign as Canada’s men’s senior head coach begins this month with a 22 August friendly against Iceland. It continues next month with an international friendly on home soil, the 12 September match against CONCACAF rival Costa Rica at BMO Field in Toronto.
Both matches, however, are just preparatory work for the real job: FIFA World Cup qualifying that takes place next season. Canada hasn’t qualified for a men’s FIFA World Cup since Mexico 1986, so their goal is pretty straight forward: qualify for South Africa 2010.
