OTTAWA – Canada will host Denmark in a pair of international friendlies ahead of qualification for next summer’s Women’s World Cup.
Canada Soccer announced Tuesday that the women’s national team will face the Danes on Oct. 9 at Montreal’s Stade Saputo before closing out the FIFA international break on Oct. 12 at Toronto’s BMO Field.
The exhibitions will be Canada’s final tune-up before November’s CONCACAF W Championship, which serves as qualification for both the 2027 Women’s World Cup and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
The Canadian women return home for the first time since hosting Haiti in a pair of June 2025 friendlies in Montreal and Winnipeg.
No. 9 Canada and No. 12 Denmark have split six all-time meetings, with three wins apiece.
The sides haven’t met since Canada earned a 1-0 victory in the group stage of the 2017 Algarve Cup in Portugal.
“Playing a team like Denmark gives us a really good opportunity to test ourselves and put the final pieces in place ahead of the CONCACAF W Championship,” Canada coach Casey Stoney said in a statement. “It’s also a great chance to face a very good European opponent. Denmark is a very organized team with some great offensive threats, so we know these will be two really competitive matches.
“It’s also been more than a year since we’ve played at home, and we’re really looking forward to reconnecting with our supporters in Montreal and Toronto and having them behind us as we build momentum heading into qualifying.”
