Carmelina Moscato was living and coaching in Denmark when her career took a sudden turn that led to her making history in Mexico.
The former defender, who played professionally for clubs in five different countries, earned 94 caps for Canada from 2002 to 2015, becoming one of the team's most trusted players while competing at three FIFA World Cups, and winning a bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics.
Moscato was eager to remain involved in the sport after she hung up her cleats and served as coach and assistant with Canada's under-15 and under-20 teams.
In 2019, she was hired by Canadian Soccer Business (CSB), owners and operators of the Canadian Premier League, where she was named its manager of women's professional football development.
