Canada Soccer’s Futsal National Team will host a 25-player camp in Montréal, QC from 31 October - 3 November. The camp is an opportunity for the wider player pool to come together ahead of the qualification process for the FIFA Futsal World Cup Lithuania 2020. Head Coach Kyt Selaidopoulos has re-called 10 players from the 2016 Concacaf Futsal Championship squad that came within a single point of qualification.
“The growth of futsal in Canada since 2016 has provided the program with a much deeper player pool as we look to accomplish what we came so close to in our last qualifying cycle,” said Selaidopolous.
The expansion of Canada Soccer’s Futsal Canadian Championship combined with a series of coast-to-coast-to-coast identification camps with Canada Soccer’s Member Associations has expanded the Futsal National Team reach.
“Today we have players who are committed to the program, playing in dedicated futsal leagues in Quebec, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario’s Provincial Futsal Cup, in addition to professionals plying their trade in international leagues,” Selaidopolous said.
The four-day camp is the first of two camps scheduled to close out 2019 before the team comes together in early 2020 ahead of the Concacaf Futsal Championship. The details of the timing and location of the Championship will be announced by Concacaf at a later date.

Canada Soccer have announced their roster for the National Futsal Team’s identification camp in Gatineau, Québec from 6-9 September. Coach Kyt Selaidopoulos has selected players who competed at this year’s 2018 Futsal Canadian Championship, including the first-ever selections from Territorial Member Associations in Yukon and Nunavut.
The camp is the first opportunity for Selaidoplouos to begin to assemble the squad that will build on the success of the 2016 Concacaf Futsal Championship team who came within one point of qualifying for the 2016 FIFA Futsal World Cup.
“We are looking for players who are committed to this program on the road to the 2020 FIFA Futsal World Cup,” said Selaidopoulos, Canada Soccer’s National Futsal Team Head Coach. “There is a core group of players who competed in Costa Rica (2016 Concacaf Futsal Championship) as well as a new wave of talented futsal players who will compete to be part of the 14 who will attend the 2020 Concacaf Futsal Championship.”
The camp opportunity brings players with club experience into the National Team environment, most for the first time. Selaidopoulos hopes to provide the players with an introduction to the expectations of Canada Soccer’s National Team program in a short training window.
“These players will be given the required tools to continue to develop as futsal players and an overview of the professionalism required to continue to advance Futsal in this country,” said Selaidopoulos. “It will be up to these players to carry the torch and continue to push their own training environments if we are to be successful in 2020.”
