Led by Head Coach Andrew Olivieri, the tournament roster features 21 players in total, with five coming from Toronto FC, including defender Adam Pearlman (Toronto FC), midfielder Andrei Dumitru (Toronto FC II), goalkeeper Nathaniel Abraham, defender Richard Chukwu and defender Theo Rigopoulos (TFC Academy).
