OTTAWA – Canada Soccer hired Eleri Earnshaw as an assistant coach with the senior women’s national team on Friday.
Earnshaw joins head coach Casey Stoney’s staff ahead of the 2026 CONCACAF W Qualifiers, which determine spots at the 2027 Women’s World Cup and 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

Before embarking on her coaching career, she played for England’s Arsenal and Barnet before continuing her professional career in the United States.

“I’m really excited to join Canada Soccer and to work with Casey and the staff,” Earnshaw said in a statement. “This is a team with high standards and a clear ambition, and I’m looking forward to being part of the environment, getting to know the players and contributing to the work ahead.”
