Fans will have an opportunity to see the Canadian Women’s Soccer Team up close during their public training session on Thursday, May 30, 7pm (gates open at 6:30pm) at BMO Field. Tickets are $10 and will be available for purchase through Ticketmaster.ca starting on Friday, May 17 at 10am ET. Blocks of tickets for groups of 26+ can be purchased using this order form (deadline is Tuesday, May 28) or by contacting marketing@canadasoccer.com.



During the training session, Umbro Canada will also unveil the newest Canadian National Team kit.



The Canadian Women’s Soccer Team will be preparing for a sold-out (not-so) friendly against the United States on Sunday, June 2, 4:30pm ET at BMO Field. This occasion marks the first time the sides have met since the storied London 2012 Olympic quarter-final in August, where the USWNT won 4-3 after extra time; June 2 is also the 100th Anniversary of the United States Soccer Federation.



The rematch will be broadcast live across Canada on all four regional Sportsnet channels.



Roster of the EXCELeration Program is Announced



A series of developmental camps are being held to create a better pipeline for players to potentially transition into the Senior National Team. The roster of the May 15-19 EXCELeration camp, coached by Andrew Olivieri in Morgantown, West Virginia, was recently named, featuring 18 players ages 17 to 23. The first of such camps was held earlier this year from March 16-25 in Portland, Oregon.



Some of these players, born in 1994 or later, are also candidates for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Canada 2014 squad. The U-20 tournament is taking place next year from August 5-24.
