Canadian women's national team to face Mexico in homecoming match at BC Place

VANCOUVER, BC – The Canadian women’s national team is coming home.

For the first time since capturing bronze at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Canada will play on home soil when they take on Mexico in an international friendly on February 4, 2017 at BC Place.

The match will be a celebratory homecoming for Canada’s soccer heroes, after they became the first team in over 100 years to repeat a podium finish at a summer Olympics. Having won all but one of its games at the Rio Olympics, Canada has rose in international rankings to fourth overall in the world.
