Canada U-17 to feature in Costa Cálida MIMA Cup in Spain
Canada Soccer’s Women’s U-17 National Team will take part in the Costa Cálida MIMA Cup in San Pedro del Pinatar, Spain with international youth matches on Thursday 3 March and Saturday 5 March. Canada will open the four-nations tournament against Poland in a Thursday semi-final before facing either Belgium or Sweden in the Sunday final or consolation match.
Canada, coached by Emma Humphries, will be in camp from 28 February to 6 March as they continue their preparations for the 2022 Concacaf Women’s Under-17 Championship. That qualification tournament, which runs 23 April to 8 May, will feature players born 2005 or later with Canada in Concacaf Group F alongside Bermuda, Dominican Republic and Jamaica. From that group stage, three teams will advance to the Concacaf knockout stage featuring a Round of 16, Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and both a third-place match and Final. The top-three nations in the competition will qualify for the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup India 2022.
For the Costa Cálida MIMA Cup in Spain, Canada will take a squad of 21 players, with the bulk of the squad part of Canada Soccer’s National Development Centres and Regional EXCEL Centres. This will be the group’s second camp following a pair of international youth matches against Mexico in December.
