While it’s apparent that the world at large will be watching the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, Michigan fans will have reason to pay a little closer attention than others as the tournament kicks off later tonight.
Representing the Wolverines in this year’s tournament will be defenders Shelina Zadorsky and Jayde Riviere, both of whom will be playing for the Canada national team. Zadorsky donned the maize and blue shirt from 2010 to 2013, while Riviere called Ann Arbor home from 2019 to 2022, helping secure the Wolverines’ first Big Ten Tournament title of the 2000s in the fall of 2021.
