“Cameroon are definitely a high-quality team and they pose different threats than teams we face normally,” said Canada forward Janine Beckie. “Their transition is really good, they are very quick, they have a lot of range in the back, so I think we need to be aware defensively. We just need to impose ourselves. If we focus on ourselves, I think we can get the result.”

Canada held a two-week training camp in Spain as part of their final preparations prior to the start of the FIFA Women’s World Cup France 2019™. The team feels confident and ready to take on the world’s best teams.
