SOCCER MEDIA REPORTS: ROSTER FOR CHINA SERIES 1st May 2007, 2007 From a CSA Report Canada’s National Senior Women’s Team announced the roster today for their two-game series with China. The Canadian women will face China on 3rd May and 6th May in Hangzou, China, one of the host cities on this year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup China 2007. "We are very fortunate to have this opportunity to visit the World Cup host country,” said Canadian National Coach Even Pellerud. “It is important for us to identify travel issues, pollution issues, food issues, maybe even heat issues - all the small differences that are expected to become critical factors when we move into September (for the World Cup).” Canada has taken a full team to China, 22 players and 11 team officials. Included in the 22 players are nine members of the Canadian Olympic development team that won the 2007 International Soccer Festival in Alabama. “We are going into this May series with a full player roster as well as a full staff. This has been made possible thanks to great contributions from the Canadian Olympic Committee and Sport Canada. We are very fortunate to have this tremendous support.” Canada last faced China in Fall 2006, in a two-game series in St. John’s, NL. The teams drew 0:0 on 19th August and 1:1 on 22nd August. In fourteen all-time matches between the Canadian and Chinese Senior Women’s Teams since 1990, Canada has won two matches, China has won 10 matches, and the teams have drawn twice. Canada first beat China on 8th June 2000, in the Pacific Cup in Newcastle, Australia on penalty kicks. Canada then beat China for a second time at the FIFA Women’s World Cup USA 2003 in Portland, OR (1:0).
