Canada Soccer says there will be a celebration tour for #canWNT. Dates and games to be announced at a later date.

I'm glad something is finally set up. I hope they schedule more as well, not just Ottawa and Montreal. But pack those stadiums Ottawa and Montreal!

I am sure they will be packed with 18,000 in Ottawa. Saputo at full capacity is just shy of 20K with 19,619, does anyone know what the current capacity guidelines are in Quebec?

oof late october at saputo..its already 5-10 degrees at night in montreal..imagine in a month

If I had a dollar for every game I've been at 5C or below I'd be buying everyone beers for a while.

A lot of competitions have finals in October or even November like Usports. If you're playing it's fine even in the snow, you stay warm. And if you're a fan there are a few ways to keep warm

Any word on a western swing?

Looks like late Nov in Vancouver:

 

 

Window seems to be 22 - 30 Nov.

Seems unlikely that the Whitecaps or Lions will be hosting playoff games, but there may be some holds on the stadium just in case.

Looks like to away games v Mexico. Nov. 27 & 30.

Makes sense now. CONCACAF W Championship  / WCQ was supposed to start in November but that got bumped to February.

No locations or kickoff time announced but the Mexican team will be training in Mexico City.

I always wondered how the #CanWNT would perform at altitude.

The return of Sura Yekka amongst a number of others, including Amanda West and Cloe Lacasse.

For the longest time I've been curious as to how the #CanWNT would perform at altitude. When we've played in Mexico in the past I believe it's been in the North of the country or in the Yucatan.

This time, both matches will be played somewhere in Mexico City so it will be real test.

2006 at Estadio Victoria Aguascalientes which is higher than Azteca. Did two days of local training before playing them. Won 3-1. Two days later tied them at a high school in Palm Springs near sea level.

Wondering if there has been any uptick in anything as a result of the win? Sponsorship,  corporate interest, etc. There is always the gate from a couple home games, but wondering what we're able to capitalize on from what is a once in a lifetime golden opportunity.

Doesn’t look like One Soccer is showing the Mexico friendlies.

I don't see it on their schedule 

[narduch]

The first match is available on Facebook

So the Saturday game is only on Facebook? Not on OneSoccer as well?

Looks like it.

The 2022 W Championship will be in Mexico:

The celebration tour might continue in April or late June (as a send-off before the team heads to Mexico).

It's refreshing to have a CONCACAF event being held outside of the USA!

Looks like something is planned for Toronto!  

[Olympique_de_Marseille]

@ShralpShralpShral , with the release of the MLS schedules, it looks like BMO Field will be free for the April Women's international dates.

Looks like the Celebration tour for the "Golden Girls" will continue on. Great to see, lets keep the party going for all the country to enjoy

Has there been any indication about when they'll announce locations or when the celebration tour will take place? Really hoping they include the East Coast. Halifax would pack the grounds and I think they're expanding the overall capacity closer to 8000 this year.

April 8 in Vancouver.

April 11 in Victoria.

Nigeria is the opponent for both.
