Canada has yet to win a World Cup in women's soccer.
While the team has earned titles at the Olympic games and in CONCACAF tournaments, a World Cup title has never made its way back to the Great White North.
The best finish from a Canadian squad at the Women's World Cup came in 2003. That side made it to the semifinals before falling to Sweden. Canada then lost to the USA in the third-place match, ending the tournament with a final placement of fourth.
