With the countdown officially on, the Canadian women’s national soccer team has two dates with Brazil in the coming week to fine-tune things before heading off to the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
Canada announced its roster Monday for a pair of exhibition tests, June 4 and 7 in Toronto and Ottawa against Brazil.
Team captain and Burnaby native Christine Sinclair will add to her national-record of 241 caps, leading a blended team of sage veterans and fresh-faced newcomers that average 25.2 years of age.
Sinclair, 32, is one of five players over 30 on the 20-woman roster.
She currently has 162 goals on the international pitch, trailing American world record holder Abby Wambach by 22 goals.
