CANADA SOCCER’S MEN’S NATIONAL TEAM PROGRAM Canada has built plenty of momentum in a landmark year for the Men’s National Team Program that will feature a record 19 international matches including FIFA World Cup Qualifiers and the Concacaf Gold Cup. Through 13 October, Canada have played 17 of those matches with a 11-4-2 record, eight clean sheets and a record 52 goals scored. Canada also set a record with eight consecutive wins and reached the Concacaf Gold Cup Semifinals for the first time since 2007. Canada will play eight of their 14 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers in the Concacaf Final Round from September through November 2021: three matches in September, three matches in October, and two matches in November. In 2022, Canada will play three more matches in January/February and three more matches in March. Along with Honduras, USA and El Salvador, Canada’s other opponents in the Concacaf Final Round are Costa Rica, Jamaica, Mexico, and Panama. To reach the Concacaf Final Round, Canada won their First Round group against Aruba, Bermuda, Cayman Islands and Suriname, then eliminated Haiti in a head-to-head Second Round series. This marks the first time since 1997 that Canada have reached the Concacaf Final Round of FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. From the Concacaf Final Round of eight nations, the top-three nations automatically qualify for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ and the fourth-best nation advance to an inter-continental playoff for additional FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ Qualifiers. Canada Soccer’s Men’s National Team are two-time Concacaf champions, previously winning the 1985 Concacaf Championship and 2000 Concacaf Gold Cup. This year marked Canada’s 15th participation at the Concacaf Gold Cup since 1991. Along with their first-place finish in 2000, Canada reached the Semifinals in 2002, 2007, and 2021. Across the past five years from 2017 to 2021, Canada are one of only four nations that finished top-six across all four Concacaf major tournaments: fifth place in Concacaf Nations League A, sixth place at both the 2017 and 2019 Concacaf Gold Cups, and a semi-final finish at the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup.

Yes. Still finalizing details with Canada Soccer but was (pleasantly) surprised and what the price will be. @rob.notenboommentioned in another thread that the additional fees and surcharges will be much lower than in Toronto. trc2014 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am debating whether or not to buy regular seats for that one. I don’t want her to be staring at someone’s back for the entire game. Either go really high in the section or in the front row. That was she gets a supporter experience and has a view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of younger kids in the section all the time. How else can we implement our brainwashing indoctrination program. It really is more effective when they are young.

Wool socks for sure and a hoodie under the leather. Angry Beaver cap, or maybe the McGill, don't know yet. Might bring some gloves. Definately should but we'll see. Absolutely the Vs scarf.
