Christine Sinclair, World's Top International Goal-Scorer, Bids Farewell to International Football

Sinclair Ends 24-Year Career with Canada, Leaving Legacy of Advocacy for Women's Football

Christine Sinclair, the world's greatest international goal-scorer, played her final game for Canada in a 1-0 victory over Australia, ending a career that spanned 24 years, 331 games and a world record 190 goals.
Sinclair, who debuted as a 16-year-old in 2000, has been a consistent performer for Canada, scoring 90 goals between the ages of 16 and 24 and helping the team win two bronze medals and a gold at the Tokyo Olympics.
Her retirement marks a changing of the guard in women's football, with fellow Canadian legends Sophie Schmidt and Erin McLeod also retiring.
Sinclair's legacy extends beyond her impressive stats; she has been a strong advocate for the game in Canada, pushing for equality, higher pay, improved standards, and opportunities for youth.
Despite her retirement, Sinclair will continue to advocate for and work towards a first professional league for women in Canada.
