The Canada women's national soccer team is overseen by the Canadian Soccer Association. It is ranked 9th (as of June 2007) in the world. The team reached international prominence finishing in 4th place at the FIFA Women's World Cup 2003, losing to their archrival American team in the bronze medal match. The women's game is quite popular in Canada due to the success the team has had internationally.[citation needed] The Under-20 women's team (U-19 prior to 2006) is also very popular, due partly to Canada hosting the inaugural FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship in 2002 and winning silver in front of 47,784 fans at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Alberta.
