Victoria Amira convinced three friends to take what they’re calling the trip of a lifetime by promising that if they attended a match at the FIFA Women’s World Cup next month, she’d drive them to every vineyard in the south of France for the following two weeks.
Amira, a government worker in Ottawa, is the only soccer fan and only French speaker in the group. She travels around Canada to watch the women’s national team, and booked tickets to see Canada face the Netherlands in the tournament’s group stage in Reims.
But when she checked her tickets online on Tuesday, Amira found what she could only imagine was a glaring mistake.
