As the Canadian women’s soccer team prepares for the start of the FIFA World Cup, there appears to be more interest and greater expectations placed on them prior to the event than were on the men last year, new polling shows. Team Canada, ranked seventh in the world, will play its first Group B match against Nigeria Thursday night in Melbourne. The month-long tournament is being co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand. Despite the distance and 14-hour time difference, 41 per cent of Canadians say they will be “paying close attention” to the matches, according to an Ipsos poll done exclusively for Global News. Canadian interest in the men’s World Cup in Qatar last year was lower when Ipsos did a similar survey, with only 34 per cent saying they would watch the event closely.
