With its final roster set, Canada’Women’s U-17 team is ready to take on the region’s best as the 2013 CONCACAF Women’s U-17 Championship is set to begin.
Canada has trimmed three players from its training camp roster and heads to Montego Bay, JAM with 20 players as goalkeeper Patricia Koutoulas, defender Catherine Levasseur, and forward Gabrielle Carle were all released from the Canadian camp.
“Taking the group from 23 to 20 was a very, very difficult decision,” said Head Coach Bev Priestman. “(It’s) a credit to many girls in the group for rising to the challenge and pushing themselves to show more and more over the course of the programme so far.”
The team travels from Florida, where they held their pre-tournament camp, to Jamaica on Tuesday in advance of their opening game of the competition against Guatemala on 31, October. Two days later, the team will take on Trinidad and Tobago before wrapping up the group stage on 4 November against the defending champions from the USA.
The top two teams in the eight-team tournament earn berths in next year’s 2014 FIFA Women’s U-17 World Cup to be held in Costa Rica.

FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Canada 2014 announces ticket on-sale date and prices
Posted on 28 October 2013 in FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup
“The National Organising Committee is excited to be reaching out to the Canadian soccer community with venue ticket packages at discounted rates,” said Victor Montagliani, Chair of the National Organising Committee for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Canada 2014. “By making this competition affordable and accessible for all Canadians, we are helping to build a legacy for women’s soccer in Canada.”
Venue pack ticket purchasers will have the first opportunity to purchase their tickets for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Canada 2014 when they go on sale 28 November 2013 at FIFA.com/Canada2014. In the first phase before the Official Draw in the Spring of 2014, only venue packs will be available for purchase on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Details on individual match tickets will be announced in the Spring of 2014. Following the Official Draw in the Spring of 2014, there will be a Visa exclusives pre-sale period.
At the media event in Edmonton, Canadian players were Erin McLeod, Carmelina Moscato and Christine Sinclair, all of whom were FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup all-stars at the inaugural event in Canada in 2002. Eleven years ago, that trio helped Canada win a silver medal and helped the tournament set a still-standing record of 47,784 fans in the final, capturing the hearts of a nation.
“Playing at home is an incredible experience,” said Christine Sinclair, Canada’s Captain and recipient of the adidas Golden Shoe and adidas Golden Ball in the 2002 competition. “We are confident Canadians will come out and support the up-and-coming Canadian stars on the U-20 team as they did for us in 2002.”
“As we see looking back on the heroics of previous FIFA U-20 Women's World Cups, the emerging talents in Canada could well go on to become the stars of tomorrow,” said Mr. Montagliani. “We are confident Canadians from coast to coast will be watching with interest and excitement as the players aim to establish themselves on the international scene.”
