Sandy, Utah (Thursday, March 28, 2019) – Utah Royals FCMF Desiree Scott has been called to the Canadian Women’s National Team for a friendly match against England, as both teams prepare for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Canada will face England on April 5 at the Academy Stadium in Manchester, England.
This will be the first matchup since the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup quarterfinal where Canada fell to England 2-1. Canada looks for redemption in the tune-up match before heading to the biggest stage, as it takes on Cameroon, New Zealand, and the Netherlands at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
The Canadian team finished its first tournament of 2019 at the Algarve Cup, facing Iceland, Scotland, and ultimately overcoming Sweden in a shootout to take home the bronze medal. Scott started all three of her match appearances and currently owns 139 caps with the Canadian team.
Scott started 20 of her 21 appearances for Utah Royals FC in 2018. URFC just finished its third week of preseason with two dominating performances against college opponents in southern California. Scott is expected to rejoin URFC prior to the home opener against the Washington Spirit on April 20 at Rio Tinto Stadium.
2019 season tickets and individual tickets for the club's home opener are available now at www.UtahRoyalsFC.comor by calling 844.REAL.TIX.
