Olivia Smith, Cloe Lacasse return as Casey Stoney names CanWNT squad for 2026 SheBelieves Cup

On Wednesday, the Canadian women’s national team unveiled their 24-player squad for the 2026 SheBelieves Cup. 

Making their fourth appearance in the annual tournament, Canada will face Colombia in Nashville, on Sunday, March 1 (2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT), the United States on Wednesday, March 4 (6:30 p.m. ET / 3:30 p.m. PT) in Columbus and Argentina on Saturday, March 7 (12:30 p.m. ET / 9:30 a.m. PT) in Harrison, New Jersey. All three matches will be available live on OneSoccer. 

Canada’s first squad of the new year sees seven changes from Canada’s final roster of 2025 for a pair of friendlies against Japan in late November/early December. Canada are looking to end a five-match losing streak. 

Of particular note, defender Brooklyn Courtnall receives her first senior call-up. After representing Canada at the U-20 level, scoring three times, Courtnall’s senior camp debut comes after her first NWSL season. She played her first two pro games with North Carolina Courage, before being loaned to Bay FC – who she has since joined on a permanent transfer. She is the daughter of former 16-year NHL player Russ Courtnall. Canadians can now watch Courtnall, and all NWSL action live on OneSoccer. 

AFC Toronto’s Kaylee Hunter, meanwhile, is still looking for her first Canadian women’s national team cap after having to pull out of camp following a senior call-up in October. NSL MVP and Golden Boot winner DB Pridham of Ottawa Rapid, meanwhile, was at November’s camp as a training player as she awaited a Canadian passport. She has received a full call-up for this camp.

Olivia Smith, Gabrielle Carle, Anabelle Chukwu and Cloé Lacasse all return after being unavailable for the previous camp. Lacasse’s call-up is her first since October 2024 after recovering from a knee injury. 

Ashley Lawrence, Adriana Leon and Floriane Jourde, all of whom were called up late last year for the Japan friendlies, are not part of this squad. 

Several other players are unavailable due to injuries, including Kadeisha Buchanan, Sabrina D’Angelo, Lysianne Proulx, Jayde Rivière and Shelina Zadorsky.
