Olympic bronze medal winner Christine Sinclair will make her return to the Canadian women's soccer team in March at the Cyprus Women's Cup.
Sinclair was suspended four games and fined by FIFA last October for an undisclosed matter at the London Olympics, where Canada won the bronze medal over France.
Soccer's world governing body handed down the punishment "for displaying unsporting behaviour towards match officials after the match."
The team will arrive in Larnaka, Cyprus on Feb. 25 to train ahead of the 12-team international women's tournament, which begins on March 6.
Sinclair will be eligible to make her return in the team's second match on March 8 against Finland.
