Canada will host Denmark in a pair of international friendlies ahead of qualification for next summer\u2019s Women\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n

Canada Soccer announced Tuesday that the women\u2019s national team will face the Danes on Oct. 9 at Montreal\u2019s Stade Saputo before closing out the FIFA international break on Oct. 12 at Toronto\u2019s BMO Field.<\/p>\n

The exhibitions will be Canada\u2019s final tune-up before November\u2019s CONCACAF W Championship, which serves as qualification for both the 2027 Women\u2019s World Cup and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.<\/p>\n

The Canadian women return home for the first time since hosting Haiti in a pair of June 2025 friendlies in Montreal and Winnipeg.<\/p>\n

No. 9 Canada and No. 12 Denmark have split six all-time meetings, with three wins apiece.<\/p>\n

The sides haven\u2019t met since Canada earned a 1-0 victory in the group stage of the 2017 Algarve Cup in Portugal.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlaying 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,\u201d Canada coach Casey Stoney said in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s also been more than a year since we\u2019ve played at home, and we\u2019re really looking forward to reconnecting with our supporters in Montreal and Toronto and having them behind us as we build momentum heading into qualifying.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Open this photo in gallery: Canada midfielder Jessie Fleming (17) in action during a 2025 international friendly against…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":136828,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2],"tags":[2592,2582,2593,2574,2572,2594,227,2571,2587,2588,2584,2573,2570,27,26,1414,440,2072,2586,2580,2605,2575,2576,1585,2583,2501,2578,2595,436,2600,2601,2603,2598,2602,2596,2599,2577,2590,2591,1158,2589,2597,2581,239,1413,2585,2579,1161,2604],"class_list":["post-136827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-denmark","tag-alberta","tag-arts-news","tag-bc","tag-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news-video","tag-british-columbia","tag-canada","tag-canada-news","tag-canada-sports","tag-canada-sports-news","tag-canada-trafficcanada-weather","tag-canadian-breaking-news","tag-canadian-news","tag-danmark","tag-denmark","tag-economy","tag-education","tag-environment","tag-federal-government","tag-foreign-news","tag-globe-and-mail","tag-globe-and-mail-breaking-news","tag-globe-and-mail-canada-news","tag-government","tag-life-news","tag-lifestyle","tag-local-news","tag-manitoba","tag-national-news","tag-new-brunswick","tag-newfoundland-and-labrador","tag-northwest-territories","tag-nova-scotia","tag-nunavut","tag-ontario","tag-pei","tag-photos","tag-political-news","tag-political-opinion","tag-politics","tag-politics-news","tag-quebec","tag-sports-news","tag-technology","tag-travel","tag-trudeau","tag-us-news","tag-world-news","tag-yukon"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136827"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136827\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/136828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
