After more than five months, the Canadian women's team is coming home.

In preparation for this summer's Concacaf Championship in Mexico, Canada will test its wits in a two-game friendly series against Nigeria in B.C. this month. The matches represent the second leg of the team's Celebration Tour in recognition of its gold medal victory at last summer's Tokyo Olympics.
