The Canadian women are 8-0-7 this year, with three of those draws turning into penalty shootout losses to Germany (in the Paris Olympics quarterfinal) and the top-ranked United States (in the SheBelieves Cup final and the CONCACAF W Gold Cup semifinal).

The Canadian women's soccer team is gearing up for a friendly match against South Korea on December 3, 2024, marking the final game of a challenging year. This match serves as a crucial test for the team, which has faced numerous adversities including labor disputes, injuries, and a coaching change. Despite these setbacks, the team has shown resilience, with interim coach Bev Priestman focusing on rebuilding team morale and performance. The game against South Korea, ranked 20th in the world, is seen as an opportunity to end the year on a positive note and prepare for future competitions. Key players like Christine Sinclair, who announced her retirement from international soccer, will be absent, giving younger players a chance to shine and gain experience.
