The report says the home friendly will mark the end of Chapman’s international career, which began with her senior debut in 2014. If selected, the 37-year-old left-back would become the 24th player to reach a century of appearances for Canada.
The occasion offers a fitting setting for a player whose career has been built on durability, defensive discipline and fierce competition. Chapman has reportedly represented Canada at three World Cups and two Olympic Games, including the bronze-medal campaign at Rio 2016 and the gold-medal triumph at Tokyo 2020.
“Her competitiveness, grit and determination have been such a big part of her career,” Stoney said. “Reaching 100 caps is a tremendous achievement.”
Chapman’s international story is closely tied to a transformative period for Canadian women’s football. The Olympic success in Rio and Tokyo helped establish a winning identity, while experienced players such as Chapman provided continuity through changes in coaches, teammates and tactical demands.
The report says she has scored two goals for Canada, but her influence has rarely been defined by attacking numbers. From left-back, Chapman’s value has come through her reliability, physicality and willingness to compete in difficult moments.
She remains active at club level with Houston Dash, where she is reportedly in her second spell. That continued involvement should allow her to remain connected to the game even after stepping away from international football.
Toronto now awaits a celebration of longevity and service. The Denmark friendly is expected to be less about a result than about giving Chapman the send-off her contribution deserves - and beginning the next chapter for Canada’s national team.
