Canada unveiled its national women’s soccer team for the 2016 Rio Olympics and Burnaby’s Christine Sinclair will lead the charge.
The team captain is eager to return Canada to the podium as it did in 2012, where it finished third.
“I’m excited. This will be my third Olympics and it is an honour every single time,” said Sinclair. “The young players coming into this Olympic squad have brought an energy and passion to our team and they have risen the bar.”
Sinclair stands as Canada’s all-time leading scorer with 162 international goals, and the nation’s most capped international player with 243 games.
