Canada Soccer have added another home international match to the 2017 calendar with the Men’s National Team set to face CONCACAF rival Jamaica on Saturday 2 September at BMO Field. The match bookmarks a Summer of Soccer in Canada, adding to the three international matches played this week in Winnipeg, Toronto, and Montréal.

Tickets to the 2 September match go on sale 21 June starting at just $20, with a special advance window launching on 19 June. All tickets will be on sale via Ticketmaster.ca. The 2 September match kicks off at 19.00 ET and all tickets to the match include free admission to the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) grounds.

”Canada Soccer is pleased to bring back the Men’s National Team to BMO Field in Toronto for this important feature against a long standing CONCACAF rival,” stated Steve Reed, President, Canada Soccer. “We are confident that Canadian fans will come out and support the team as we blend our emerging talent with a strong group of veterans,” he added.

Canada Soccer’s Men’s National Team have been training this past week in Laval and Montréal in preparation for their 13 June Men’s International Friendly match at Stade Saputo. The match will serve as their official send-off match ahead of the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup. The match will broadcast live across Canada on TSN 1, 3, 4 and 5 and RDS at 19.30 ET / 16.30 PT.

“I am extremely excited that Canada will be returning to Toronto to take on Jamaica this September,” said Tosaint Ricketts, who has made 55 international appearances with the Men's National Team. “There is no better feeling than representing your country on home soil and it will be especially significant for me to wear the maple leaf for Canada as a member of TFC at BMO Field where we know that our fans will be the 12th man.”

Following the CONCACAF Gold Cup in July, the 2 September match will be Canada’s next date on the FIFA International Match Calendar. It will also mark the Men’s National Team’s first match back at BMO Field since a 3:0 win over Belize on 4 September 2015.

Both Canada and Jamaica will participate at this summer’s CONCACAF Gold Cup, albeit in separate groups. The two sides have already faced each other 19 teams at the international “A” level, with Canada holding the slight edge with eight wins, six draws, and five losses. Their last two meetings were a Jamaica 1:0 win at the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup and a Canada 3:1 win in a Men’s International Friendly at BMO Field on 9 September 2014.

CANADA SOCCER HALL OF FAME
Ahead of the 2 September match, Canada Soccer will officially honour Paul Stalteri as a member of the Canada Soccer Hall of Fame. The CONCACAF champion and former Men’s National Team captain will be celebrated as part of the pre-match festivities at BMO Field.

Stalteri has been inducted as a player as part of the Class of 2017 (alongside Amy Walsh who will be celebrated on 11 June before a Women’s National Team match in Toronto). A CONCACAF champion in 2000, the two-time Canadian Player of the Year represented Canada at the FIFA Confederations Cup Korea/Japan 2001. He won both a Bundesliga title and a German Cup (DPF-Pokal) with Werder Bremen in 2004.

The Men's National Team, in their send-off match before the CONCACAF Gold Cup, will face Curaçao on 13 June at Stade Saputo.

Canada Soccer dévoile sa liste provisoire de 40 joueurs pour la Gold Cup 2017
6 June 2017

En préparation du tournoi de la Gold Cup de la CONCACAF de cet été, Canada Soccer a soumis sa liste officielle de 40 joueurs admissibles pour le championnat 2017 de la confédération. Les 12 nations participantes peuvent seulement retenir des joueurs à partir de cette liste pour composer leur alignement de 23 joueurs en uniforme pour la phase de groupes de la compétition qui démarre le 7 juillet.

Le tournoi de la Gold Cup de la CONCACAF est le championnat officiel des équipes nationales de la confédération, se déroulant cette année du 7 au 26 juillet sur 14 sites aux États-Unis. Attirant de grosses foules et des millions de téléspectateurs dans la région, le tournoi de la Gold Cup de la CONCACAF est une célébration du soccer, de l’esprit sportif et de la culture. Le Canada disputera ses matchs de phase de groupes contre la Guyane française le 7 juillet à Harrison, le 11 juillet contre le Costa Rica à Houston, puis le 14 juillet contre le Honduras à Frisco, une banlieue de Dallas.

« Les joueurs canadiens doivent avoir une motivation, la fierté et la passion de porter l’uniforme du Canada », affirme Octavio Zambrano, entraîneur-chef du programme de l’équipe nationale masculine. « Ce n’est pas un maillot qui peut être donné à n’importe qui, c’est quelque chose que les joueurs doivent mériter et quand ils le portent, ils doivent ressentir quelque chose de différent. »

Canada Soccer dévoilera son alignement de 23 joueurs pour le tournoi de la Gold Cup de la CONCACAF à la mi-juin après un match international amical à Montréal. L’équipe tiendra ensuite un camp à compter du 28 juin à Ottawa, au lendemain du match retour de la finale du Championnat canadien 2017 entre le Toronto FC et l’Impact de Montréal au BMO Field de Toronto.

De ces listes de 23 joueurs, les nations peuvent remplacer un joueur en cas de blessure grave jusqu’à 24 heures avant le premier match de l’équipe en phase de groupes. Après la phase de groupes, chaque nation peut modifier son alignement de 23 joueurs et remplacer jusqu’à six joueurs par six nouveaux joueurs. Tout au long du tournoi de la Gold Cup de la CONCACAF, tous les remplaçants doivent provenir de la liste provisoire de 40 joueurs.

ÉTÉ DE SOCCER AU CANADA
Cet été, les équipes nationales de Canada Soccer joueront à Winnipeg, Toronto et Montréal du 8 au 13 juin. L’équipe nationale féminine affrontera le Costa Rica, le 8 juin au Investors Group Field, puis le 11 juin au BMO Field avant que l’Équipe nationale masculine affronte Curaçao dans son dernier match avant le tournoi de la Gold Cup de la CONCACAF, le 13 juin au stade Saputo.
