The Canadian women's national soccer team faces a critical test as they look to close out 2025 on a positive note. The squad is determined to end a challenging four-game losing streak in a rematch against Japan.
Henderson Steps Up in Stoney's Absence
Assistant coach Natalie Henderson is currently at the helm for Canada. She took charge during the team's previous match, a 3-0 loss to Japan on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at Peace Stadium. Henderson is leading the team because head coach Casey Stoney has returned to England to be with her ailing mother.
Seeking Redemption After Recent Defeat
The upcoming match offers an immediate chance for redemption. The recent defeat in the friendly international extended a difficult run of form for the Canadian side. The team will be eager to reverse that trend and find a winning result before the calendar turns.
The match represents more than just a friendly; it's a crucial opportunity to rebuild momentum and confidence. With key leadership from Henderson and a squad hungry for a win, Canada aims to finish the year with a much-needed victory.
