4 British Columbians to play for Canada in upcoming Women's World Cup

Canada coach Bev Priestman named her final roster for the FIFA Women’s World Cup on Sunday, acknowledging wins and losses on the injury front ahead of the 32-team tournament that opens July 20 in Australia and New Zealand.

Because of the health question-marks, Priestman waited until virtually the last minute to announce her squad, just ahead of FIFA’s Monday deadline.

“I’m proud to name this dynamic and exciting 23-player roster,” the 37-year-old coach said in a statement. “I know every single person has given their all to make this squad. It’s a great mix of veterans, experienced and new players who can all bring something different this summer.”
