Three League1 Ontario alumni will take the pitch against England in a youth international match 
on Easter Sunday March 27 at Keepmoat Stadium in Doncaster, England. 

Midfielders Duwayne Ewart (Vaughan 2015) and Liam Fraser (TFC Senior Academy 2015), along with fullback 
Marcus Godinho (TFC Senior Academy 2014), were selected for the week-long international camp that 
features a mix of players born between 1996-2000.

Two more League1 alumni - Tristan Borges (TFC Senior Academy 2015) and Luca Uccello (TFC Senior Academy 
2014) - were also part of the original selection. 

"There is a real spirit between the two nations," said Rob Gale, Canada Soccer's Men's National U-20 
Coach, in an interview with canadasoccer.com. 

"We are both testing players for senior-level football down the line, so there was some excellent 
collaboration between staff from both federations."

The team have been in England training since March 21, and Canada lost a mid-week behind-closed-doors 
exhibition test against England by a 4-1 scoreline. Toronto FC's Jordan Hamilton scored the lone 
marker for Canada. 

"We wanted to let the players express themselves in this test, especially against an experienced 
side like England," said Gale. "It was interesting to see who stood up well to the test. From 
a development process, it was very helpful."

The Easter Sunday March 27 match will be open to the general public at Keepmoat Stadium (16:00 GMT/ 
11:00 EST k.o.; tickets available via doncasterroversfc.co.uk).
