Paul Stalteri and Atiba Hutchinson will be among those feted during the pre-game ceremonies. Stalteri is being inducted into the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame while Hutchinson receives his record fifth Canadian Player of the Year Award.

Hutchinson will suit up for Canada in the match, joining three other Brampton players, Junior Hoilett, making his Toronto debut, Jonathan Osorio and Cyle Larin. Stalteri played 84 career matches for Canada’s A team, which was a record when he finished his career in 2010.
