Boyds, MD (August 22, 2018) – Washington Spirit defender Rebecca Quinn has been named to the Canada Women’s National Team roster for an international friendly against Brazil, coming up Sunday, Sept. 2 at TD Place in Ottawa.
At the age of 23, Quinn has already earned 38 caps, including 20 starts at the senior level. She has scored three goals and assisted two others so far in her young career with the senior national team. Quinn, who helped Canada to a bronze medal at the 2016 Olympics in Brazil, is one of 13 total Olympic medalists who has been named to Canada’s roster for the Sept. 2 friendly.
Earlier in 2018, Quinn earned international caps No. 34-37 at the Algarve Cup, playing every minute of action for Canada. She played a key role in a near flawless effort by the Canadian defense, as they finished the event with three straight shutout victories. Her most recent cap came in a full 90-minute performance against Germany on June 10, as Canada came up just short in a 3-2 result.
The No. 3 overall pick in the 2018 NWSL College Draft has played in 16 games, starting 15, so far this season for the Spirit.
Ahead of Canada’s FIFA Women’s World Cup France 2019™ qualification campaign set for October at the 2018 CONCACAF Women’s Championships, Canada will be using the opportunity to play Brazil, the 2016 Rio Olympic hosts, to assess the squad make-up and to see how individuals perform under the unique pressures of playing such a high-calibre team. Both Canada and Brazil have recently been ranked amongst the top-10 nations in the world, with Canada ranked fifth and Brazil ranked seventh.
While USA and Canada are already seeded into Group A and Group B at the Concacaf Women’s Championships respectively, the Central American Zone and Caribbean Zone qualification for the Concacaf Women’s Championship will conclude on Sept. 2, the same day Canada faces Brazil in Ottawa. The draw which determines who Canada will face in the group stage of the 2018 Concacaf Women’s Championship will take place Sept. 4 in Miami.
