Canada Women host Jamaica Women at the BMO Field in the CONCACAF Olympic playoff second leg on Tuesday (September 26).
The two teams participated in the 2022 CONCACAF Women's Championship won by the United States. That handed them an automatic qualification for the 2024 Summer Olympics. Canada and Jamaica finished second and third respectively, leading to this playoff to decide the second CONCACAF spot for the Olympic football tournament.
The Canucks are highly favoured to win the two-legged tie after beating Jamaica 2-0 in the first leg in Kingston on Friday. Even a draw would be enough for Canada to seal their fifth qualification to the Summer Olympics.
