2011 FIFA Women's World Cup squads
Encyclopedia
The 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup is an international football tournament being held in Germany
from 26 June until 17 July 2011. The 16 national teams involved in the tournament were required to register a squad of 21 players; only players in these squads are eligible to take part in the tournament.
Before announcing its final squad for the tournament, each participating national federation is required to submit a provisional squad. The final 21-player squad, three of whom must be goalkeepers, must be drawn solely from the provisional squad and submitted to FIFA no later than 10 working days before the start of the tournament. Replacement of seriously injured players is permitted until 24 hours before the team in question's first World Cup game. Unlike the men's World Cup
, in which replacement players do not have to be drawn from the provisional squad, the Women's World Cup requires that replacements be drawn from the provisional squad.
On 17 June 2011 the final squads were submitted and published.
Players marked (c) were named as captain for their national squad. Totals for caps and goals, club affiliations, and ages are as of the opening day of the tournament on 26 June 2011.
The squad was announced on June 16.
Note: The caps and goals totals for many players on the squad differ dramatically between FIFA's squad list and the player list of the Canadian Soccer Association
. For example, the FIFA list only credits Christine Sinclair with 43 goals, while the CSA credits Sinclair with 116. An examination of Sinclair's CSA matches page and CSA statistics page reveals that all of her CSA-credited caps were against full national teams, which means that all 116 goals should presumably be listed as full international goals. Examinations of several other players' CSA records indicate analogous results. Therefore, the CSA numbers are used in this list.
