Hello Sports Fans!
The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup is kicking off in Australia and New Zealand on July 20th. Canada is still being led by Christine Sinclair who is going strong even at age 40. This will be her 6th and most likely last World Cup. She has one last shot at helping Canada win its first World Cup title.
Could this be the year for Canada?
The Canadians are coming off some recent international glory after taking home the Gold Medal at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. Despite that big win, the Canadians are coming into this World Cup with a bit of a chip on their shoulder as they continue to fight for respect on the international stage.
Canada is in Group B for the first round of the tournament.
Group B:
Australia
Canada
Nigeria
Republic of Ireland
