Canada’s women ready for rugby World Cup final rematch against England in Toronto
In what is being billed as a rematch of the 2025 World Cup final, Canada and England will meet on Friday at BMO Field.
The Black Maidens, the national U-17 female football team, have arrived in Rabat ahead of their participation in the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup. Following their pre-camp stay in Casablanca, the team is set to kick off their Group C matches against Norway on Sunday, October 18, at the Mohammed VI Football Complex. Subsequent matches include a clash with Brazil on Thursday, October 22, and a final group stage game against Canada on Saturday, October 24.
The squad underwent rigorous two-week training in Casablanca, with their technical team assessing their readiness through two international friendlies against China and Kenya. The Black Maidens are making a return to the global stage after a one-year hiatus, aiming to capitalize on their impressive past performance, which includes a bronze medal in 2012 and three quarter-final appearances.
Training is scheduled to begin in Rabat on Wednesday, as the team finalizes preparations for their opening match against Norway.
