VANCOUVER, BC - Vancouver Whitecaps FC confirmed on Tuesday that Homegrown midfielder Alphonso Davies received his Canadian citizenship earlier today and subsequently earned his first Canadian men's national team call-up.
“It’s a great honour to be able to call myself a Canadian citizen,” Davies said. “First of all, I am thankful to Canada Soccer and Whitecaps FC for their tremendous support throughout this process. Not many people can say they’re a Canadian citizen, knowing that it’s one of the best countries in the world. I’m very proud that I’m one of those people.
