hamiltonfan Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 FC Gute (Sweden) is set to announce it will invite four Canadian players to take part in a professional trial in Gotland, Sweden. FC Gute plays in Sweden’s Division 2 Södra Svealand football league. Over the past week, FFA Global (Canada) has hosted a player identification camp overseen and operated by UEFA-A licensed managers of the Swedish club. Players participating in the camp come from across Ontario (a few U17CMNT who are attending, very talent group at the camp). The signing presentation will take place 1:00PM - Sunday, June 28th at Crescent School, 2365 Bayview Ave Toronto, ON....all are welcome to join. There will be opportunities to mingle with the coaches and talk footy. The Swedish club has previously looked to Canada for talent on four occasions; signing four FFA Global graduates Esfandyar Nikmanesh, Evroy Junior Ellis, Alexander Ryan, and Mark Bacolcol. Following the ID Camp, FC Gute managers will be joined by the club’s academy for a preseason camp and tour. FC Gute Academy will play a series of exhibition matches including friendly versus Toronto FC Academy (TBA) and Kingston FC (August 1). For further information about the signing event or exhibition matches please contact Peter Raco at peter.raco@ffaglobal.org FFA Global: FFA is a non-profit organization that grew out of a vision of professional and non-profit football enthusiasts in North America.

jpg75 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Wait, i'm confused. So the four names in the article posted above are the players that were signed 4 weeks ago or they were players the club signed at some point in the past (as the article seems to suggest) "The Swedish club has previously looked to Canada for talent on four occasions" ?? BTW, Division 2 in Sweden is the 3rd tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 BTW, Division 2 in Sweden is the 3rd tier. Actually they have changed their league structure, it is now the 4th tier: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_football_league_system Its a regional league with 6 different groups.

The paragraph starts with the sentence "The Swedish club has previously looked to Canada for talent on four occasions;" with the semi-colon indicating that the list following would be the players signed on those four occasions.

Those four have signed at an earlier date. Sunday FC Gute will sign four other Canadians for a extended trial in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamiltonfan Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'm interested in how this clubs' academy fares against TFCA. Game will happen this Thursday morning at the KIA Training grounds - with Roma intown and training at the facility, TFC will not allow this to be open to the public.
