About Allysha Chapman

Born 1989. Allysha Chapman is a Canadian association football player.

Club career Chapman played college soccer for UAB in 2007 and for LSU from 2009 to 2011. Chapman joined the Dash in 2015 after playing the previous three seasons in Sweden. After two seasons in Houston, she was traded to the Boston Breakers on November 28, 2016.

Chapman appeared in 19 games in what would be her only season in Boston, as the team would fold ahead of the 2018 season.

Chapman was selected by the Courage with the 10th pick in the 2018 Dispersal Draft. After seeing very minimal playing time with the Courage, she was traded to the Houston Dash on May 9.

Chapman made her return to the Dash on May 15, 2018, against the Chicago Red Stars. Upon the announcement of her contract extension in October 2022, the club's General Manager Alex Singer said of Chapman "She is the definition of grit and determination and embodies everything this club stands for. We are elated she chose to stay with the club". On December 10, 2024, Chapman signed a contract extension with the dash that runs through the 2026 season, with the mutual option for a further one-year extension. On September 14, 2025, she made her 100th league appearance for the Dash, becoming the fifth player to reach a century of league appearances for the club.

International career Chapman was part of the Canada national under-20 team that won the 2008 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship.

Chapman was called up to a senior national team camp in early 2009, at the time where the team was transitioning coaches from Even Pellerud to Carolina Morace, but her first cap at the senior level would not come for over five more years.

She made her debut for the Canada national team on October 25, 2014 in Edmonton, a 3-0 loss against Japan. Chapman's performance was described as "one of the few bright spots for" the Canadian side. After her debut, Chapman said that she had previously considered representing Scotland as she held a British passport and qualified through her mother. Later that year, Chapman was named to Canada's roster for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup. She played every minute of Canada's five matches. Canada was eliminated by England in the quarterfinals.

Chapman was named to Canada's roster for the 2016 CONCACAF Olympic Qualifier, where Canada finished second and qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics. She won the 2016 Algarve Cup and was named to Canada's Olympic Team. Chapman played in five of Canada's six games at the Olympic Games, winning the Bronze Medal.

On May 25, 2019, she was named to the roster for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.

Chapman was named to the roster for Canada's 2020 Olympic Team. Chapman played in four of Canada's six games at the Olympic Games, winning the Gold Medal.

In August 2023, during the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup against Australia, a live microphone picked up an exchange between Chapman and Matildas coach Tony Gustavsson after Chapman collided with Australian forward Hayley Raso. Chapman said: "She fucking jumped into me, you twat." BBC sports commentator Robyn Cowen quickly apologized to viewers, saying, "Apologies there if any language was picked up on the very sensitive pitch-side microphones it seems."
