Canada Soccer
After a painstaking process of weighing pandemic restrictions, club commitments and injuries, Canada Soccer has finally announced its Olympic qualifying team. The U-23 side features no Toronto FC players as the club’s recent Covid-19 outbreak at training camp played a major factor.
Canada opens the competition in Guadalajara, Mexico on March 19 against El Salvador. They subsequently play Haiti on the 22nd and finish the group stage against Honduras on March 25. The top two teams in the group will advance to the semi-final round. The winners of those semi-final games qualify for the Olympics. All of Canada’s matches will be available on OneSoccer.
