After leading Canada to gold at the Tokyo Olympics in August 2021, Sinclair decided that she did not want to go to Paris for 2024 Olympics
“I wanted to give it one more shot for the World Cup, just because I really thought we could be successful there and we hadn’t been successful in a long time at World Cups..I’ve started to catch myself thinking about going on vacation,” Sinclair was reported to say.
Sinclair said the competition was getting tougher and added the recent World Cup showed that there are more top contenders than ever before.
Sinclair has been the face of Canadian soccer for a long time, and also helped the Canadian team and added she would like to get into coaching after she retires for good.
