Canada looking towards ‘future’ at camp in Arizona
Training begins in preparation for January friendlies.
Canada opened its training camp in Scottsdale, AZ under the guidance of interim head coach Colin Miller on Sunday 20 January.
The Men’s National Team has selected its youngest squad since May 2006 for the camp as the search for the future identitiy of the Canadian team begins in earnest following a disappointing exit from FIFA World Cup Brazil 2014 Qualifiers™ last October.
“One of our key objectives for this camp is to look towards the future and give some of our young players a chance,” Miller told the national media on 18 January.
“It is important for us to take a step forward during the camp and over the course of the next two matches. We expect the young players to come in very hungry and looking to show well for the future of the Men’s National Team.”
