On Tuesday, Canada Soccer announced the 21-player roster for the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Morocco, naming South Surrey forward Brooklyn Boldt to the squad after her record-breaking British Columbia Premier League season.
Boldt scored 14 goals in 13 games with Vancouver Rise, breaking the previous BCPL record of 10 goals and winning the Golden Boot award, BCPL top player of the week honors, and Vancouver Rise U18 Most Valuable Player recognition.
Despite her individual success, Boldt emphasized that soccer is a team sport, stating 'I wouldn't be here without all my teammates' and coaches' support' while focusing on positioning herself to finish chances.
The forward has committed to play NCAA soccer for the University of Wisconsin Badgers starting in 2027, while Team Canada gathers in Rabat, Morocco on Wednesday, October 7 before opening its World Cup campaign against Brazil on Sunday, October 18.
Canada will face Norway on Wednesday, October 21 and Ghana on Saturday, October 24 in Group C, with coach Jen Herst noting the World Cup is 'an important part of their development' where players compete against the best.
