Forward Latifah Abdu added to Canada roster for soccer friendlies against Australia
By The Canadian Press on November 27, 2023.
Coach Bev Priestman has called up forward Latifah Abdu to replace the injured Evelyne Viens for Canada’s upcoming friendlies against Australia. It’s a first senior camp for the 22-year-old from Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Que., who plays in France for Dijon. Abdu was 15 when she made her debut in the Canadian youth program in 2017 under Priestman. She has not featured for Canada since the under-17 team. Canada, ranked 10th in the world, hosts No. 11 Australia in friendlies Friday in Langford, B.C., and Dec. 5 in Vancouver in captain Christine Sinclair’s final outings in Canadian colours. — This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 27, 2023 7-6
