“It has been a vibrant and positive atmosphere,” said Michael Findlay, Canada Soccer’s Men’s National Team Interim Head Coach. “It has been a very competitive environment and it has provided us with some early assessment and evaluation for the 2017 season.”
The Men’s National Team camp predominantly features players from clubs in out-of-season leagues in North America. Alongside preparing for the international match, the camp is structured to give players an early jump on the 2017 season ahead of their club pre-seasons.
Canada trains in Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA from 12-18 January, then travel to Bermuda. Only 18 players will be selected for travel on 19 January.
CANADA v BERMUDA
\u200bThe 22 January 2017 Bermuda v Canada match will kick off at 15.00 local and be broadcast live on migmultidev-canada-soccer.pantheonsite.io (14.00 ET / 11.00 PT). The international match will help kick off Canada’s 2017 season, which will include the biennial CONCACAF Gold Cup in July.
This will mark the ninth meeting between the two nations dating back to FIFA World Cup Qualifiers in 1968. Canada is unbeaten in that stretch with four wins and four draws, including a 3:0 win in their last meeting 10 years ago on 25 March 2007.
Over the past two years, Canada’s overall record is nine wins, seven draws and eight losses in 24 international matches against all opponents.
