The Canadian women’s national team roster has been chosen and officially submitted for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France.

Canadian head coach Kenneth Heiner-Moller selected 23 players to represent the country at the premier women’s international soccer tournament held every four years and made the official announcement Saturday.

The roster features a strong combination of youth and veteran experience and is, arguably, the most talented Canadian women’s national team ever assembled.

Canada is led by veteran striker Christine Sinclair, 35, who will be competing in her fifth World Cup tournament. The Burnaby, B.C., product is the most experienced player in the history of Canadian soccer with 282 international appearances. She has 181 goals for Canada and needs four more to become the most prolific international scorer of all time — men or women.

“I think my time on the national team has been a rollercoaster, a journey, ups and downs, and I can honestly say I’ve been waiting my entire career for this team,” Sinclair said following Canada’s sendoff match in Toronto May 18. “We’re so talented and have the depth to be able to compete at World Cups and Olympics and that excites me. We are so much more talented than we ever have been. If you combine that with what makes us Canadian, our hard work and grit, it excites me.”
