Canada’s men’s U-23 team announced today that it will play two exhibition matches in early March before the CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualification Tournament in the United States. Canada will face Westmount College on 4 March and UC Santa Barbara on 7 March. The Westmount College match will be closed to the public.'We have two very competitive matches that will help in our preparations for the tournament,' says coach Nick Dasovic. 'These games will be used for the staff to make decisions on our starting XI for our first game. We will take these two matches very seriously.
'Canada’s men’s U-23 team announced their provisional roster earlier this week, featuring a mix of players attached to North American and European clubs. Dasovic expects to have approximately 20 North American-based players in camp at the start of March; the European-based players will join later in the week.
Dasovic has until 10 March to name his final 20-player roster. He is not bound to the 30-man list, so he will be able to select any available players born 1985 or later. Dasovic will also be able to make changes after 10 March for medical reasons.
Canada’s round-robin competition in Carson, CA features México (12 March), Haiti (14 March) and Guatemala (16 March). Should they finish amongst the top-two teams in their group, they will advance to the semi-final on 20 March in Nashville, TN (to be played against a team from the other round-robin group). The semi-final winner will advance to the 23 March final and book their ticket for the Summer Olympics in Beijing.
