Canadian midfielder Quinn healthy again and back in fold for Argentina friendlies
Quinn, who has not played for Canada since the Paris Olympics, returns from injury for a pair of international friendlies against Argentina in B.C. during the April FIFA window. The return of the influential 29-year-old midfielder from Toronto is good news for Casey Stoney ahead of her first games on Canadian soil as head coach. The seventh-ranked Canadians host No. 33 Argentina on April 4 at B.C. Place Stadium in Vancouver and April 8 at Starlight Stadium in Langford. "We're all excited to be playing on home soil in front of our fans in British Columbia," said Stoney, a former England captain. "This group has a great blend of experience and emerging talent, and these matches will be an important chance for us to keep building and growing together." Quinn, now with the Vancouver Rise of the new Super League, has earned 104 caps for Canada and played in all four games at the Paris Olympics in a 2024 disrupted by a knee injury and concussion. Leicester forward Deanne Rose also returns from injury. Stoney is still missing injured defenders Kadeisha Buchanan (Chelsea, England) and Sydney Collins (North Carolina Courage, NWSL), midfielder Simi Awujo (Manchester United, England) and forwards Jordyn Huitema (OL Reign, NWSL) and Cloe Lacasse (Utah Royals, NWSL). Canada is 6-0-0 all-time against Argentina, outscoring the South Americans 14-1. Canada won 2-0 the last time they met, in October 2022, in Cadiz, Spain. The Canadian women are coming off a championship run at the Pinatar Cup in February in Spain where they defeated No. 28 Mexico 2-0 and No. 42 Taiwan 7-0 after drawing No. 17 China 1-1 in Stoney's debut as coach. Veterans on the roster for the Argentina series include captain Jessie Fleming, defenders Vanessa Gilles, Ashley Lawrence and Shelina Zadorsky, midfielder Julia Grosso and forwards Adriana Leon, Nichelle Prince, Deanne Rose and Janine Sonis (nee Beckie). The squad features 21 players from the Pinatar Cup roster. Canada roster Goalkeepers: Sabrina D'Angelo, Aston Villa (England); Lysianne Proulx, Juventus (Italy); Kailen Sheridan, San Diego Wave (NWSL).

Canada to host Argentina for pair of women's soccer friendlies at B.C. Place in April
Canada will host Argentina in a pair of women's international soccer friendlies in B.C. during the April FIFA international window. The seventh-ranked Canadians will play No. 33 Argentina at B.C. Place Stadium in Vancouver on April 4 and at Starlight Stadium in Langford, B.C., on April 8. The games will be the first at home for Casey Stoney, who was named Canada coach on Jan. 13. "I'm really looking forward to playing in Canada and experiencing the support of our fans," Stoney said in a statement. "These matches aren't just friendlies; they're stepping-stones for our future. Each game gives us an opportunity to build on our standards, our style of play, and our growing belief as a team." Canada has won all six previous matches with Argentina, most recently prevailing 2-0 in October 2022 in Jerez, Spain. The Argentines are ranked third among South American women's teams, behind No. 8 Brazil and No. 21 Colombia. The Canadian women are coming off winning the Pinatar Cup last month in Spain, where they drew No. 17 China 1-1 and blanked No. 29 Mexico 2-0 and No. 42 Taiwan 7-0. Despite lifting that trophy, they fell one spot to No. 7 in the FIFA rankings released last week. Canada has not lost in regulation time in 22 matches dating back to a 1-0 loss to Brazil in Montreal in October 2023. The Canadian women have gone 14-0-8 since then with three of the draws turning into penalty shootout losses (two to the top-ranked United States and one to No. 3 Germany) and one into a shootout win (over Brazil). Canada's last game on home soil was a 1-1 draw with Mexico in Toronto on June 5, 2024, their last game before the Paris Olympics. The women have played 10 games since — four in France and six in Spain. The Canadians last played in B.C. in December 2023 when they beat Australia in a pair of friendlies in Langford and Vancouver, marking the international swansong of captain Christine Sinclair.

Alidou's hat trick headlines 7-goal thumping as Canadian women top Taiwan to win Pinatar Cup
Canada coach Casey Stoney leaves the Pinatar Cup with a trophy in hand and a better idea of the talent at hand. "I think there's been some questions answered — in both ways," Stoney said. Marie-Yasmine (Mimi) Alidou put up her hand with a hat trick Tuesday as sixth-ranked Canada won the four-team women's soccer tournament with a dominant 7-0 victory over No. 42 Taiwan. Alidou, who plays her club football in Portugal for Benfica, needed just 32 minutes to complete her hat trick at the Pinatar Arena. The 29-year-old from Saint-Hubert, Que., now has five goals in eight appearances for Canada. Jordyn Huitema scored twice while Megan Reid and Clarissa Larisey added singles for Canada, which led 5-0 at the break. Two of the goals came via penalties. It was one-way traffic for the Canadians, who had 70 per cent possession and outshot Taiwan 19-2 (11-0 in shots on target) with an 8-0 edge in corners. "It was about keeping professional standards against a team we knew we were expected to beat. I'm disappointed we didn't score more goals, if I'm honest," said Stoney. "We could have had a little bit more intensity in the second half in terms of our attacking play but we made changes at halftime. That's going to make a difference." WATCH l Alidou's hat trick powers Canada to Pinatar Cup win: Mimi Alidou scores a 1st-half hat trick as Canada claims the Pinatar Cup 1 hour ago Duration 2:54 Canada drew No. 17 China 1-1 and blanked No. 31 Mexico 2-0 earlier in the tournament. Taiwan lost all three games, outscored 15-0. With Mexico (2-1-0) posting a 2-0 win over China (1-1-1) earlier in the day at the Pinatar Arena, the Canadians needed a win to lift the trophy. Alidou, defender Gabby Carle and midfielder Emma Regan leave Spain with their reputations enhanced. And 20-year-old attacker Olivia Smith continues to impress. Stoney said she wanted to see her entire roster in action at the tournament and was true to her word, with only Simi Awujo and Jade Rose not seeing action. Awujo picked up a knock in training while Rose was not expected to play at the tournament as she continued her recovery from a prior injury. Stoney has more players to see with Canada missing the injured Kadeisha Buchanan (Chelsea), Sydney Collins and Bianca St-Georges (North Carolina Courage), Cloe Lacasse (Utah Royals), Deanne Rose (Leicester City) and Quinn (Vancouver Rise) in Spain. It marked Canada's first time at the Pinatar Cup, previously won by Scotland, Belgium, Iceland and Finland. The Canadian women have not lost in regulation time in 22 matches dating back to a 1-0 loss to Brazil in Montreal in October 2023. Canada had gone 14-0-8 since then with three of the draws turning into penalty shootout losses (two to the United States and one to Germany) and one into a shootout win (over Brazil). Stoney made six changes to her starting lineup with only captain Jessie Fleming, Jayde Riviere, Smith, Reid and Huitema retaining their places. The starting 11 came into the game with 661 total caps, down from a combined 750 for the Mexico matchup and 690 for the China contest. Alidou opened the scoring in the fourth minute after a Nichelle Prince pass put her behind the defence. Taiwan goalkeeper Wang Yu-ting made the first save but could not control the rebound and Alidou took advantage. WATCH l Canada lifts Pinatar Cup trophy with dominant 7-0 victory: Canada hoists the Pinatar Cup 25 minutes ago Duration 0:55 She added her second from the penalty spot in the 14th minute after Wang was judged to have taken Prince down in the penalty box. Huitema made it 3-0 in the 26th minute, knocking home a well-delivered Smith corner with Reid attracting attention from defenders. Alidou completed her hat trick, looping the ball home off the side of her boot after Taiwan failed to clear a corner to make it 4-0. Reid, who had come up for another corner, scored her first for Canada in first-half stoppage time after Taiwan failed to deal with a Fleming cross. Reid, a California native whose mother was born in Canada, gave up soccer after playing at the University of Virginia to pursue a career as a paramedic. She then returned to the sport, joining the NWSL's Angel City for the 2022 pre-season as a non-roster invitee and remains with the team. Ella Ottey and Carly Wickenheiser came in to start the second half to earn their second caps. Samantha Chang, Larisey, Adriana Leon and Nyah Rose, Jade's younger sister, followed off the bench. Leon joined the San Diego Wave on Tuesday, leaving England's Aston Villa to return to the NWSL on a two-year deal with a mutual option for 2027. Huitema made it 6-0 from the penalty spot in the 49th minute after Smith was taken down dribbling into the Taiwan penalty box. Larisey's header from a Riviere cross ended the scoring in the 75th. Out of substitutes, Canada finished with nine players with Larisey and Riviere, both taking a knock, leaving in the dying minutes. Stoney told reporters Monday that she hopes the Canadians can play at home during the March-April international window.
