SWANSEA – Canada plays Wales in Swansea in an international men’s soccer friendly on Tuesday. A look at the matchup:
WHERE: Swansea.com Stadium.
RANKINGS: Canada is ranked 28th in the world by FIFA, while Wales is No. 31.
HISTORY: Canada is 1-2-0 all-time against Wales, losing 1-0 the last time they met in May 2004 in Wrexham. Current Wales coach Craig Bellamy was a starter that day. The lone win, a 2-0 decision, came at Toronto’s Varsity Stadium in May 1986 in the first of two meetings ahead of the World Cup. That match marked the first time that Canada had defeated a European nation in a senior international. Wales won the second meeting 3-0 in Vancouver.
