Canada women's national soccer team

The Canada women's national soccer team is overseen by the Canadian Soccer Association. It is currently ranked 12th in the world. The team reached international prominence finishing in 4th place at the FIFA Women's World Cup 2003, losing to their archrival American team in the bronze medal match. The women's game is quite popular in Canada due to the success the team has had internationally. The Under-20 women's team (U-19 prior to 2006) is also very popular, due partly to Canada hosting the inaugural FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship in 2002 and winning silver in front of over 30,000 fans at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Alberta.
