Team Canada’s Over 50s Men's squad showed tremendous heart and resilience throughout a challenging group stage at the World Nations Cup in Spain. The team grew with every match — earning a hard-fought 1–0 win over Japan and a solid 0–0 draw with Cyprus. While the scoreboard didn’t always reflect their effort, Canada’s Over 50s demonstrated heart, sportsmanship, and improvement each day, ultimately finishing 7th overall. 

​

Canada's Men's Over 60s impressed with draws against Spain and eventual finalists Northern Ireland, close losses versus Italy and Czech Republic, and a victory against Australia. Despite being placed in a "group of death" with 3/4 semi-finalists, the team got strong results against tough competition and were unlucky not to enter the playoff stage, finishing 5th in their group.

​

The Canadian Men’s Over 70s team showed determination during a tough group stage, rallying to earn a 1–0 win over Basque Country, and later showing great heart to notch a 2–1 victory over France to secure a top 6 finish in the tournament.  

​

CONGRATULATIONS to the Canadian Women's Over 50s team who secured a BRONZE MEDAL at their first ever World Nations Cup! Aside from a 1-0 to eventual finalists England, the team was undefeated in the group stage, finishing 3rd - close behind England and France. After a 1-1 draw with Australia, the contest was decided on penalties, where the Canadians did brilliantly to secure Canada's first ever silverware at a World Nations Cup. Well done to the players, coaches, staff, and volunteers on this accomplishment!
