Posted: Oct. 10, 2022 3:51PMCanada soccer coach Emma Humphries is shown in an April, 28, 2022 handout photo taken in San Cristobal, Dominican Republic. Two former champions await Canada at the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in India, with 2012 winner France first up Wednesday. The young Canadians then take on 2014 champion Japan on Saturday, also in Goa, before wrapping up Group D play Oct. 18 against Tanzania in Navi Mumbai.
“We have tried in the buildup to face many different types of opponents, so we feel we’re ready. We obviously haven’t played France or Japan this cycle with the group but we’re tried our best to replicate with different kind of opponents. The girls responded really well to different challenges that have been ahead of them.
Defender Zoe Markesini captains Canada, which qualified by virtue of a 3-0 victory over Puerto Rico in the third-place game at the CONCACAF Women’s Under-17 Championship in May in the Dominican Republic. Humphries, who has an undergraduate degree in psychology and a master’s in teaching, doubles as the Vancouver Whitecaps director of women’s soccer development.
The women took part in the recent Women’s Revelations Cup, which ran Aug. 31 to Sept. 6 in Leon where they lost 1-0 to Colombia on a 93rd-minute goal and 4-1 to host Mexico before beating Chile 3-2 to finish fourth behind Chile on goal difference. Colombia, bolstered by members of its under-20 squad, went 2-0-1 in winning the event which featured four countries all headed to the world showcase in India.
