In their most recent meeting, last April at the SheBelieves Cup in Columbus, Ohio, the two teams played to a 2-2 draw before the U.S. won a penalty shootout 5-4. The Americans also won by penalty shootout in the game before that, the CONCACAF W Gold Cup semifinal in March 2024. Canada’s last win over the U.S. was a 1-0 decision in the Tokyo Olympic semifinal in August 2021. That was the American’s first loss to their northern neighbours since March 2001, in the group stage of the Algarve Cup. The Canadian women are 2-0-1 under Stoney and are coming off a tournament win at the Pinatar Cup in Spain in February. The July 2 game against the U.S., a meeting of the last two Olympic champions, is dubbed the Allstate Continental Clasico. Canada Soccer says the June-July international window will also include a second match against a different opponent, to be announced later. The Canadian women open a two-game series against No. 33 Argentina this week, in Vancouver on Friday and Langford, B.C., on April 8.
