MONTREAL ‚¬" Montreal Impact forward Reda Agourram has been invited to join once again the Under 23 National Team for its next training camp, from January 13 to 22, in Phoenix, Arizona. The U23 team is preparing for the upcoming Olympic qualifying tournament.

Agourram, 20, will partake in his third national team experience with the under-23 squad, after training camps in Florida, in January and November, 2010. During this last camp in Sunrise, Agourram tallied one goal and one decisive pass in two matches.

‚¬Å“I will have the chance to see my teammates of the national team and show again to the staff what I am capable of, ‚¬Â said Agourram. ‚¬Å“I will be less nervous than during the two first camps because now I know what to expect. I need to continue working to defend my spot in the roster. ‚¬Â

The Impact will kick off its training camp on February 1, at the Bell Sports Complex, in Brossard. The team will partake in a two-week pre-season camp in Arizona, from February 20 to March 4, to play three exhibition games against Major League Soccer teams. The Impact play the first game of the 2011 season on April 9 in Tampa Bay.
