Interim coach Michael Findlay wants less friendlies in neutral venues.

As per Steven Sandor. Good news for those who want to see more friendlies on home soil.

He spoke about this a bit on the last From the Black Hole episode. Seems like good home attendance is making it an easy decision for the CSA, weather permitting

Fantastic! Hopefully about half our friendlies are at home, and most of the others are in Central or South America.

Hope we see some back and forth between ones in Canada and ones in Central America

It is important we play alot in south/central America as that is our Achilles heel. It's also huge to have games on our home soil and arguably travelling in Canada to build the recognition of the game. The odd game in Europe is fine but we need to get out own house in order.

 

Edit: should also add as an aside.  Findlay already making a play for the job full time? In his position why wouldn't he. I will hold judgment but I'm hoping for a far more experienced manager.

2-4 in latin america year

2-4 in canada a year, in different cities

2 in europe max

2 in the us max and only if we are playing 1 against the us

You surely could not be suggesting we get eliminated first round GC every time it comes around, and even then, in the same group as the US?

I say, Gold Cup years, a minimum 6 games in the US, with only the last vs. the host team.

I like where your head is at, but it would be even better if the US wasn't the eternal host. I'd love for Canada to win another Gold Cup, but it would be even sweeter if it was won in Canada or Central America.

Article about a possible friendly that never took place in 2015.

El Secretario General de FENIFUT, Licenciado Ildefonso Agurcia..."...Con el tema los pasajes es que son muy costosos, pero la mayor dificultad es la Visa”.

 

How do we deal with those two problems better so we can get home friendlies?
