Canada Women's National Team set to begin World Cup qualifying on Friday

Canada Soccer’s Women’s National Team has arrived in Edinburg, Texas to begin the group stage at the 2018 Concacaf Women’s Championship in its bid to qualify for the FIFA Women’s World Cup France 2019™ taking place next summer.

“We just concluded a training camp here in Texas and the team has come together well, so we are confident going into the group stage that we will perform for Canadian fans,” said Head Coach Kenneth Heiner-Moller. “We’ve benefited from three big international matches against France, Germany and Brazil as well as the Algarve Cup this year, so this team has had several opportunities to prepare for this important qualification campaign and that is apparent from what we’ve seen since arriving in Texas.
