The 3rd Inclusion Of Australia In The Women’s World Cup In 2023 Cannot Be Met By Canada
The Matildas are not an easy opponent, to put it mildly. They are not just intelligent tactically but also playing in front of thousands of Australian supporters, who might serve as the team’s symbolic 12th man because they are on home territory.
Christine Sinclair, the captain of Canada, would score if she did, making history as the first player of any gender to do it in six FIFA Women's World Cup contests.
The Canadian women’s national team won their most recent match in a thrilling comeback victory over Ireland, giving them their first victory at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2023.
Canada (No. 7) must defeat co-host Australia (No. 10) to draw or win and advance to the Round of 16.
The Matildas are not an easy opponent, to put it mildly. They are not just intelligent tactically but also playing in front of thousands of Australian supporters, who might serve as the team’s symbolic 12th man because they are on home territory.
Christine Sinclair, the captain of Canada, would score if she did, making history as the first player of any gender to do it in six FIFA Women’s World Cup contests.
Sam Kerr, the standout striker for Australia who missed the tournament’s first two games due to a calf injury, will likely be available for this match. Tony Gustavsson’s team will benefit significantly from Kerr’s flair and ball control as he looks to exploit Canada’s defensive frailties with nimble passes and cunning shots.

Ways to watch
All of the games will be televised live throughout Canada on CTV, TSN, and RDS, with additional coverage on Canada Soccer’s digital platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, Twitter, and Youtube using the hashtags #CANWNT and #WECAN.
The pre-game programme on Monday will commence at 5:00 a.m. ET, followed by the main telecast at 6:00 a.m. ET.
Canada belongs to what group?
In Group B, the seventh-ranked Canadians will compete against the co-hosts Australia (10), Ireland (22), and Nigeria (40) in the opening round.
What Canadian athletes should I watch out for?
To put together a strong team capable of competing in Australia and New Zealand, head coach Bev Priestman has assembled a group of players with a mix of young skill and senior pedigree.
The Canadian national team’s future stars, like midfielder Julia Grosso, are among young people hungry to advance and establish themselves.
Having achieved much success on the international stage, seasoned leaders like Kadeisha Buchanan, Kayla Sheridan, and Ashley Lawrence hope to lead their team to World Cup triumph this summer.
Of course, Canada may still rely on Christine Sinclair, the best female football player of all time, who is 40 years old, to score a goal when it matters.
