Canada women's national soccer team Denmark series

Overview

The Canada women’s national soccer team recently completed a two-match home series against Denmark in Montreal and Toronto. Head coach Casey Stoney framed the series as a critical performance test for the squad as they prepare for the 2026 Concacaf W Championship and future qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

In the series finale held at BMO Field in Toronto, Denmark defeated Canada 4-3. The Danish side capitalized on defensive errors to score three goals in a nine-minute window during the first half, with Olivia Holdt contributing two goals and an assist. Canada’s goals were scored by Delaney Pridham, Olivia Smith, and Evelyne Viens. Pridham, an Ottawa Rapid FC player, scored her first international goal in the 10th minute.

The series featured several milestone moments, including the first senior start for 18-year-old Kaylee Hunter and the expected 100th and final appearance for veteran defender Allysha Chapman. Despite the loss, the matches served as a benchmark for the team, which Stoney noted has transitioned from a “fragile” state following the 2024 Paris Olympics to a “very together group.”
