The Canada women's national soccer team is overseen by the Canadian Soccer Association. It is currently ranked 11th in the world. The team reached international prominence finishing in 4th place at the FIFA Women's World Cup 2003, losing to their archrival American team in the bronze medal match. The women's game is quite popular in Canada due to the success the team has had internationally. The Under-19 women's team is also very popular, due partly to Canada hosting the inaugural FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship in 2002 and winning silver in front of over 30,000 fans at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Alberta.
In both U-19 championships held to date, the Golden Boot winner was a Canadian: Christine Sinclair in 2002 and Brittany Timko in 2004.
