Tinton Falls, N.J. (Jan. 31, 2017) - Canada Soccer has set its Women's National Team camp roster in advance of two upcoming Women's National Team international friendly matches against Mexico in Vancouver, with a Bronze Medal Celebration Match on February 4 at BC Place and a closed-door match on February 7.

The Bronze Medal Celebration Match will be the first time that the Canada Soccer's Women's National Team will play at home since capturing its historic back-to-back bronze medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
