Of the historic moment, they said, "I feel proud seeing 'Quinn' up on the lineup and on my accreditation. I feel sad knowing there were Olympians before me unable to live their truth because of this world. I feel optimistic for change. Change in legislature, Changes in rules, structures, and mindsets."[59] Quinn played 29 minutes of Canada's second group stage match against Chile helping the team win 2–1.[60] After tying Great Britain 1–1 with Quinn playing as a starting midfielder,[61] Canada finished second in Group E and advanced to the quarterfinals.[62] Quinn was a starting midfielder in the match against Brazil.

The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup proved to be a major disappointment for Canada, who failed to advance past the group stage. Quinn played for almost the entirety of the team's three matches, only being substituted in the closing minutes of their 4–0 loss to Australia in order to give newcomer Olivia Smith an appearance. Their performance was generally praised.[69][70]

Personal life

In 2020, Quinn came out as non-binary and transgender (using gender-neutral pronouns) and changed their name by adopting their prior surname as a mononym.[71] They were permitted to continue playing professional women's soccer on the basis of their sex assigned at birth, rather than gender identity.[72] They have expressed disappointment with media using their birth name when they came out, stating "it's crucial to write about trans people using their name & pronouns."[73] In July 2021, Quinn became the first out non-binary transgender athlete to compete and become an Olympic Champion at an Olympic Games.[74][75]

In 2023, Quinn became the first openly transgender and non-binary footballer at the FIFA World Cup.[5]
