CANW20 Squad Named for April Camp in Costa Rica
30 players selected as CANW20 continue preparations for FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Poland 2026™
Canada Soccer’s Women’s U-20 National Team (CANW20) will travel to El Coco, Costa Rica for an April camp featuring a pair of international friendly matches against Costa Rica. The matches will serve as key preparation for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Poland 2026™, set to take place from 5 to 27 September 2026.
Head Coach Cindy Tye has selected an extended roster of 30 players for the camp as the program continues to build towards the upcoming global competition, with 14 players returning from the squad that competed at the 2025 Concacaf Women’s U-20 Championship.
“This camp is an important opportunity for us to give exposure to these players and take a closer look at a wider pool of talent within our program. These matches will provide a valuable test for the group, allowing us to evaluate performances in a competitive setting and continue building on the standards we expect. It’s an important step as we continue our preparation for the World Cup.”
