Ottawa, Ontario – Canadian Women’s World Cup Team Head Coach Even Pellerud today announced the names of 15 players for the international friendly against the USA in Washington, DC on Saturday, April 26. Pellerud hopes to add two to three players before tomorrow’s game which will be televised live on WTSN at 12:00 p.m. ET and then shown on a tape delay on Rogers Sportsnet (Ontario only) on Sunday at 8:00 p.m. ET.
Because of the last minute nature of this game (with Canada replacing Nigeria on Wednesday), Pellerud has had to juggle his roster selections. Some WUSA teams have refused to release their Canadian players, despite the fact that the US team has all their WUSA players at their disposal.
