Although Canada’s women’s soccer team ended the year with an emphatic 5-1 win in a friendly against Korea Republic on Tuesday, no one may be more eager to flip the calendar to 2025 than the national team’s players.
Canada celebrates - The Canadian PressAlthough Canada’s women’s soccer team ended the year with an emphatic 5-1 win in a friendly against Korea Republic on Tuesday, no one may be more eager to flip the calendar to 2025 than the national team’s players.
Despite exiting the Olympics without a fourth consecutive podium appearance, Canada finishes the year undefeated for the first time in the program’s history, with three losses on penalties all officially recorded as draws. Andy Spence, an assistant under Priestman, took on the role as interim head coach during the Olympics and for a friendly against Spain in the fall.Kevin Blue, Canada Soccer’s general secretary and CEO, declined to discuss Spence’s future.
Tony Gustavsson is also a free agent after leaving his post with the Australian women’s team. At last year’s World Cup in Australia, he led the Matildas to a fourth-place finish, the best-ever mark for the country at any World Cup . His march with the Matildas included a dominant 4-0 win over Canada that eliminated the Olympic champions from the World Cup.
This past camp could serve as a good blueprint in terms of giving opportunities to non-regulars, although this was partly necessary due to injuries to key players like Kadeisha Buchanan, Jade Rose, Quinn, and Cloé Lacasse. The national team will also likely receive a boost from the launch of the Northern Super League, which is set to kick off its inaugural season in April.
