Both these teams who have not made quite an impact to the world of football will clash with each other in order to create history. The footballing history of both the teams have not been that glorious but in 1980s when Canada and New Zealand faced off, Canada won both the matches with a big score leaving New Zealand in all ashes. But this New Zealand team would try to control things from now since, they have Herdman as coach who coached the New Zealand’s Women team from 2006 to 2011 will clearly make things better for the Kiwis. However, on the other hand Canada will try to repeat the history in this international friendly that is to be played in Spain.
