Abbotsford’s Sophie Schmidt will make her final appearance in Canadian colours at BC Place on Tuesday (Dec. 5).

Schmidt and the Canadian women’s national soccer team welcome Australia for a friendly and it marks the end of over 18 years wearing the red and white.

It will be her 225th appearance for Canada, which ranks second all-time behind only Christine Sinclair.

“Sophie, although she initially left international football at the end of the FIFA World Cup, this opportunity to play one more time with her best mates in front of family and friends was just too unique,” stated Bev Priestman, the national women’s team head coach.
