EDMONTON — The 2017 North American Soccer League (NASL) season and Minor Soccer Month reaches its fantastic conclusion this Saturday, October 21 when FC Edmonton hosts Miami FC on Girls in Soccer Night II at Clarke Stadium featuring Canadian Women’s National Team players and two-time Olympic medalists Desiree Scott & Melissa Tancredi!
Minor soccer fans and teams from all over the greater Edmonton area, Alberta and western Canada helped make ‘Girls in Soccer’ Night on Saturday, May 27 one of the most memorable Eddies matches in the club’s history. The Eddies clinched three points against the Indy Eleven and the weekend’s festivities helped inspire girls playing the beautiful game in Canada, including a Pro Connect speaking session from Canadian Women’s National team midfielder Diana Matheson.

Tancredi played a key role for Canada at the 2012 Olympics with four goals, helping her country to Olympic bronze in London and Rio de Janeiro before retiring in 2017.
