Before announcing its final squad for the tournament, each participating national federation was required to submit a provisional squad. The final 21-player squad, three of whom must be goalkeepers, could only be drawn from the provisional squad, and had to be submitted to FIFA no later than 10 working days before the start of the tournament. Replacement of seriously injured players was 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.
Canada
The squad was announced on 16 June.
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.
