Canada’s women’s soccer team is set to play a friendly match against the Netherlands, ranked 11th, in the upcoming October FIFA international window. The match, scheduled for October 28, will take place in Europe, following Canada’s earlier game against Switzerland on October 24 in Lucerne. Coach Casey Stoney expressed enthusiasm for facing the Netherlands, highlighting their strong possession game and creative attacking players under new leadership.
The upcoming fixture presents an important opportunity for Canada to regroup, reestablish their playing style, and set objectives for future development. The Canadian team, with a record of 6-2-1 this year, seeks to bounce back from their last match, a 3-0 loss to the U.S. in July. Historically, Canada holds a 9-1-4 advantage over the Dutch, with past encounters resulting in a draw and a win for the Netherlands at major tournaments.
Following the match against the Netherlands, Canada will conclude the year with a two-game series against Japan in the November international window. The games are scheduled for November 29 and December 2 in Nagasaki.
