Canadian Youth International Players of the Year for 2020 were named yesterday with the honours going to New England wide-player Tajon Buchanan, and U20 WNT centre-back, Jade Rose.
For the 2020 award, the list of women’s nominees featured U-20 players who participated at the 2020 Concacaf Women’s Under-20 Championship. For the men’s nominees, given that no international competitions took place because of the global Covid-19 pandemic, the Canada Soccer list featured Canadian U-23 players.
Tajon Buchanan was one of 20 players selected to represent Canada at the Concacaf Men’s Olympic Qualifying Championship in March 2020 before the tournament was postponed.
