The success of Canada Women, a country that didn’t even have a League in 2019
In Canadian soccer, as in the United States, it all started with women’s soccer, and that’s where the men’s team found the key to success. Herdman had led the women’s team since 2011, with which he had won two Olympic bronze medals (2012 and 2016), and for the previous five years he had been in charge of New Zealand, where he left when he took over. seen that in England they did not. Raised near Newcastle at a time of industrial crisis, unemployment and alcohol, this former PE teacher with no experience as an elite footballer found his footing in Down Under football by drawing on psychology to enter a locker room. And he got it. First in Oceania then in North America. From girls to boys. Unlike the rest of the first world, the country with the maple leaf has taken the big leap when it comes to women: from 95th place in the FIFA rankings when the British came to power a legislature ago to 41st today today. A stretch that also comes at a strategic time, four years after hosting the next World Cup with Mexico and the United States.
