\u200bAttakora replaces would-be first-time call-up Matt Stinson, who is unavailable because of injury. Attakora, 22, played his professional football this past season with the San Jose Earthquakes of Major League Soccer. This marks Attakora’s first call-up to the national team this season.

\u200bCanada needs but a single point from its final two matches in CONCACAF Round 2 of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Qualifiers\u0099. St. Kitts and Nevis needs back-to-back victories, as both St. Lucia and Puerto Rico have already been eliminated. Six matches in CONCACAF Round 3 (against Honduras, Cuba and Panama) await the group winner.
