Canada Soccer have named their 18-player squad for a Men's U-20 International Series 
against fellow CONCACAF member Honduras. The 10-day camp in USA and Honduras 
runs 6-15 November, with international matches against Honduras on 12 
and 14 November 2016 in Tegucigalpa.

The two matches fall during the FIFA international window, which will give Canada 
an opportunity to bring together some of their top players from both North American 
and European-based clubs.

"Qualifying is right around the corner so this camp comes at a vital stage in our 
preparation," said Robert Gale, Canada Soccer's Men's National U-20 Team Coach. 
"This is a great opportunity for us to bring together players from both sides 
of the pond."

In the group, 12 of 18 are making their first international trip to Honduras, 
as six players previously traveled to San Pedro Sula for the 2015 CONCACAF Men's 
Under-17 Championship. Only four players in the group are making their first trip 
to Central America, including debutant Sebastian Breza.

The 18 players are attached to clubs in seven countries including Canada. 
From Canada Soccer's EXCEL Program, Shamit Shome was not selected for this 
particular camp because his club FC Edmonton are in the NASL playoffs. 
Unavailable through injuries were Marcus Godinho and Liam Millar.

The younger players that recently fared well during the Men's U-18 series 
in El Salvador have been added to the roster for this camp. Both Dante Campbell 
and Shaan Hundal earned their first call ups with the Men's U-20 squad 
(for players born 1997 or later). Campbell, Hundal, and U-20 regular Ballou Tabla 
(who recently signed with MLS side Impact Montréal FC) are the three 1999-born 
players in the camp.

The 2017 CONCACAF Men's Under-20 Championship runs 17 February to 5 March 
in Costa Rica. From 12 CONCACAF nations, the top four will qualify for the 
FIFA U-20 World Cup Korea Republic 2017 from 20 May to 11 June.

Canada Soccer’s Men’s EXCEL Program channels our nation’s exceptional players 
into the best soccer environments. The Canada Soccer Pathway works 
in collaboration with our provincial and territory partners as well 
as the professional clubs and academies. For Canada’s elite players, 
the program emphasizes player development on the pathway to representing 
Canada’s Men’s National Team in international soccer.
