Canada Soccer to honour veteran Desiree Scott at May friendly in her native Winnipeg
@Source: torontosun.com
Canada, ranked seventh in the world, has won all three previous meetings with No. 53 Haiti.
Former captain Christine Sinclair scored four times the last time they met, a 6-0 win for Canada in a January 2012 Olympic qualifier in Vancouver. Before that, Canada won 11-1 in October 2022 in Victoria — with four goals from Sinclair and three from Charmaine Hooper — and 2-0 in April 1991 in Port-au-Prince.
A fierce defensive midfielder, Scott was known as “The Destroyer” for her ability to break up opposing attacks.
But she has only played for Canada twice — in friendlies against Mexico in Toronto and Montreal in June 2024 — since November 2022. Knee surgery and other setbacks sidelined her.
Scott, then with the Kansas City Current of the National Women’s Soccer League, announced last October she would retire at the end of the 2024 NWSL season. But in January, she reversed that decision and signed with Ottawa, which kicks off its NSL schedule Sunday against visiting AFC Toronto.
