CANADA SOCCER RELEASE

From the 28-man squad, 18 will be selected for travel to Bermuda.

"We want to give our players an early advantage heading into their pre-seasons, but also give our staff an opportunity to observe, evaluate, and educate a larger group of players," said Michael Findlay, Canada Soccer's Men's National Team Interim Head Coach. "This project also provides an internal competition within the larger group as only 18 will be selected for travel to the match."

Of note, players from all five Canadian professional teams are included in the squad. At the international level, some of the most experienced players include Marcel de Jong, Dejan Jaković, Will Johnson, Nik Ledgerwood, Tosaint Ricketts, and Adam Straith.

More than half the squad is 24 or younger, including eight that have yet to make their international debut. The squad also includes five players that have received their first-ever call ups to the Men's National Team: Molham Babouli, Marco Carducci, Jay Chapman, Raheem Edwards, and Ben McKendry.

Canada will be based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA from 12-18 January before traveling to Bermuda.

CANADA v BERMUDA

Canada will face CONCACAF opponent Bermuda in an away Men's International Friendly match on 22 January 2017 in Hamilton, Bermuda. The Sunday afternoon match at the Bermuda National Sports Centre will kick off at 15.00 local and be broadcast live on canadasoccer.com.

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.
