Rising Island soccer star Liam MacKenzie named to Canada U-17 soccer team
It may be clutching at soccer straws to note that two of Canada’s group opponents in the 2022 World Cup, Croatia and Morocco, are through to the semifinals. Or it might be a valid point as Canada looks to co-host in 2026 with the U.S. and Mexico.
The games are to prepare the teams for the U-17 CONCACAF championship Feb. 11-26 in Guatemala. Canada is coached by Andrew Olivieri and has been drawn into a group with the U.S., Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago, out of which the top three will advance to the Sweet Sixteen. The top-four nations in the CONCACAF knockout round will qualify for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Peru.
Canada was most recently in the FIFA U-17 World Cup at Brazil in 2019, the last edition hosted before the pandemic.
