Pellerud Announces Training Squad for Mexico

Ottawa, Ontario – Canada’s Women’s National Team Head Coach, Even Pellerud, has selected his 18 woman roster for Canada’s upcoming training camp and two-game series against CONCACAF rival Mexico, in the capital city of Baja – Mexicali. The training camp is scheduled to take place from February 21 to 27, 2006.



The team will depart for Mexico on February 21 and will train for two days prior to playing Mexico in Mexicali on February 23, 2006.



Canada and Mexico will then play the second match of the two-game series a little further north in La Quinta, CA on February 25, 2006.



In all likelihood, Pellerud will use the weeklong camp and two-game series to not only get a sense of where Mexico stands at present, but also to get an indication of what work will be required in the upcoming months to make certain that his squad is prepared for the task of qualifying in late 2006.



The team will then depart from San Diego, CA on February 27th bound for Vancouver, BC where Canada will play host to the Netherlands on March 1st at UBC’s Thunderbird Stadium in Vancouver, BC and on March 4th at Centennial Stadium on the campus of the University of Victoria in Victoria, BC.
