Canada on the Soccer Map


Two major women’s soccer events will be hosted on Canadian soil, continuing a legacy of soccer event hosting that began with the 1976 Olympics and most significantly during the decade of the 2000s. The 2015 Women’s World Cup - the largest single sports event for women in the world - will be played out in six Host Cities coast to coasts and preceded by the 2014 U-20 Women’s World Cup.

The six official Host Cities of the 2015 Women’s World Cup are: Edmonton, Alberta; Moncton, New Brunswick; Montreal, Quebec; Ottawa, Ontario; Vancouver, British Columbia; and Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Past soccer events hosted by Canada (and the Canadian Soccer Association):

2007 U-20 Men’s World Cup
2002 U-19 Women’s World Cup
1987 U-17 Men’s World Cup
1976 Olympic Games Montreal
