Canada’s women’s soccer team will face Costa Rica in a friendly game next month.
The ninth-ranked Canadians will head to San Jose, Costa Rica, for a training camp on May 31, then take on the host nation in Cartago on June 9.
Head coach Casey Stoney says in a release that the window will give the group an “opportunity to spend valuable time together on the pitch and continue building on the work we’ve done to date.”
The game will mark the 19th meeting between the national squads, and Canada holds an 18-0- 0 record across the previous matchups.
The two sides last faced off in Toronto back in June 2025 when the home country took a 4-1 victory in Stoney’s first game as head coach.
The Canadians are preparing for November’s CONCACAF W Championship, which will serve as a qualifier for both the 2027 World Cup in Brazil and the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
“Costa Rica is a quality opponent that will present a different type of test and allow us to continue developing as a team as we prepare for the competitions ahead,” Stoney said.
