It’s going to be a big year for the Canadian women’s national soccer team.
“It’s a massive year,” Priestman said Wednesday. “I think even watching the men’s World Cup — the following and all the support that was given to that team — I’m super excited. It got me energized and ready to go again for this year.
The tournament has been expanded from 24 teams to 32 and Canada is looking to improve on a second-round exit to Sweden four years ago in France.“It’s super exciting and I know the group will be motivated and ready to come in,” Priestman said. “I know in the back end of last year, it was the first time in my time here, that you saw a little bit more burnout.
Priestman invited 18 players to the pre-tournament camp and will name 23 players for the four-team event.
