'Caps grads Huitema, Grosso named to Canada's Olympic qualifying roster

Canada Soccer’s Women’s National Team will have just one objective on their mind when they kick off the 2020 Concacaf Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament: to qualify for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Only two nations from the region will meet that objective through the Concacaf semifinals on February 7 in Carson, California in the United States. There will be no second chance.

Canada Soccer have announced their official 20-player squad ahead of the eight-nation Concacaf Women’s Olympic Qualifying Championship that opens for Canada on January 29 in Edinburg, Texas.

The roster includes Vancouver Whitecaps FC BMO Academy system products Jordyn Huitema and Julia Grosso, as well as Jayde Riviere, who spent one year in the program.
