MONTREAL — Team captain Emma Wright will lead Canada’s women’s water polo team at the upcoming Paris Olympics.

Water Polo Canada and the Canadian Olympic Committee announced the team’s roster Thursday.

Canada qualified for Paris following the 2024 World Aquatics Championships.

The Canadians appeared to have failed in their quest to qualify after losing 18-12 to Italy in their final game in Doha, Qatar but were entered into the tournament when South Africa forfeited its allocated spot.
