Canada, whose title sponsor is Winners and presenting sponsor is Teck, will return home to Canada following the 5 July match. Neither Canada nor Nigeria will advance beyond the group phase. Canada will then begin preparation for the 2012 CONCACAF Women’s Olympic Qualification Tournament (January in Vancouver) and the London 2012 Women’s Olympic Football Tournament.
