Canada will host USA in a Women's International Friendly match in Winnipeg, a host city for the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™. The match will be played on Thursday 8 May 2014 with a local 19.00 kick-off time.
“We are thrilled to bring world-class women’s soccer back to Winnipeg and look forward to giving the fans in Manitoba a chance to come and support Canada’s Women’s National Team on the road to Canada 2015," said Peter Montopoli, General Secretary of the Canadian Soccer Association.
This marks the first women's national team home match in Winnipeg since 1990, when Canada in fact hosted its first-ever international match in the Manitoba capital.
”We are pleased to host this important match and give Manitoba soccer fans a chance to see some of the best players in the world,” said Minister of Tourism, Culture, Heritage, Sport and Consumer Protection Ron Lemieux. “This kind of event will highlight the game of soccer, and the amazing facility of Investors Group Field that will be used to host the game.”“Every time we come into these games against USA, we want to be the team that stops them, stops their unbeaten streak,” said Canada’s Women’s National Team Head Coach John Herdman. “They’re an absolute machine but at some point someone’s going to trip them up. We are hoping that with our fans behind us and cheering us on, we can do that in Winnipeg in May.”
