Canada women’s national team have confirmed that they will play two friendly matches with Nigeria in April.
The matches have been organized to celebrate the North American ladies’ victory at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo last August.
The first match will take place on April 8 in Vancouver, while the second match will be played on April 11, at the Starlight Stadium in Langford.
While talking to CBC about the matches, Canada’s Head Coach, Beverly Priestman, said: “I was over the moon to get Nigeria over the line.
“We haven’t got a lot of experience against African nations, so for me, playing Nigeria, we haven’t played them a lot, but we know they’re an unbelievable team, and it’ll be a great experience for us to keep pushing forward on our new journey.”
