Montreal to host U-20 Women’s World Cup final; Canada’s first two games set for Toronto 6 Aug 2013 Toronto’s BMO Field, which wasn’t part of the 2015 Women’s World Cup bid but was brought into the 2014 U-20 Women’s World Cup as a replacement for Ottawa, will get Canada’s first two matches, Aug. 5 and Aug. 8, 2014.

Practice fields an issue for Canadian Women’s World Cup organizers 13 Oct 2011 “In essence, we need four very good training fields in each city,” said Montopoli. “They need to be at an international standard. There are many options, some can have grass or some can have artificial turf.”
