Canada Soccer has invited 28 players to the final U-20 women’s camp of 2017 from December 10 to 17 in Burnaby, BC, including nine players from the Vancouver Whitecaps FC Girls Elite BC Soccer REX program. The camp is a key touchpoint ahead of January’s CONCACAF U-20 Women’s Championship in Trinidad and Tobago, which serves as the qualification tournament for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup France 2018 held later in the year.
The camp will provide Canada Soccer’s technical staff with an opportunity to assess the group in order to select the 20 player roster for January as well the chance to mold and refine the team’s tactical strategies in line with the Women’s EXCEL Curriculum to ready the team for tournament play.
