Canada and Spain have met on three previous occasions with the CanWNT yet to pick up a victory. Most recently, the team fell 1-0 to La Roja as part of the 2022 Arnold Clark Cup in Wolverhampton, England on a goal by Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas. Prior to that, the teams played to a scoreless draw in 2019 and a 1-0 defeat in 2017, both in friendlies.
The match will be part of Canada's first camp since the 2024 Paris Olympics in which Canada fell to Germany on penalties in the quarterfinals.
