sa国际传媒 will host Mexico in a pair of women's international soccer friendlies in June.
The ninth-ranked Canadians will play the 31st-ranked Mexicans on June 1 in Montreal and June 4 in Toronto in the so-called "Summer Send-off Series."
The matches are part of sa国际传媒's preparations for defence of its title at the Paris Olympics in July.
"Mexico has shown recently they are a difficult team to face, which is exactly what we need before finalizing our Olympic roster and continuing to evolve and cement our tactical identity before July 25,鈥� sa国际传媒 coach Bev Priestman said in a statement.
sa国际传媒 opens Olympic play against No. 28 New Zealand on July 25 before facing No. 3 France on July 28 and No. 23 Colombia on July 31.
The Canadian women are expected to play two more warm-up games in Europe before the Summer Games, in the July 8-16 FIFA international window.
sa国际传媒 is 22-2-3 all-time against Mexico but is winless in its last two meetings (0-1-1) in November 2021.
sa国际传媒 and Mexico both made the semifinals of last month's CONCACAF W Gold Cup, losing to the U.S. and Brazil, respectively.
