Professional women's football match between Halifax Tides FC and AFC Toronto at the historic Wanderers Grounds.
Halifax Tides FC take on AFC Toronto at The Wanderers Grounds on Saturday 19 September, a match that brings the Northern Super League to the city's historic waterfront stadium. The Tides are Halifax's first-ever professional women's football club, and this is one of the home fixtures they're playing this season.
They've put together a squad that mixes Canadian and international talent. In goal, they've got Olympic gold medalist Erin McLeod and former Liverpool FC goalkeeper Rylee Foster, and in the midfield, South Korean international Cho So-Hyun. It's a side built with a few big names and a lot of experience, and they're playing their home games at The Wanderers Grounds, which has long been a central venue for football and community events in the city.
AFC Toronto comes into this as a tough opponent. They've got the league's best away record so far and are tied for the fewest goals conceded this season, so they're hard to break down on the road. Toronto head coach Marko MilanoviΔ has described Halifax as a very organised, hardworking team and noted how difficult it is to win there, which sets the scene for a match where both sides are hard to beat.
