The sixth-ranked Canadian women will face World Cup champion Spain in an international friendly next month. Third-ranked Spain will host Canada on Oct.
25 at Estadio Francisco de la Hera in Almendralejo. The game will be the first for the Canadian women since the Paris Olympics, where they lost to Germany in a quarterfinal penalty shootout after head coach Bev Priestman was sent home and later suspended for a year by FIFA over her part in Canada's drone-spying scandal.
In announcing the Spain friendly, Canada Soccer said more information on the interim women's coaching staff for the October window will come later.
Assistant coach Andy Spence took charge of the team in Priestman's absence at the Olympics. Spain finished fourth in Paris, beaten 1-0 by Germany in the bronze-medal match.
