Several B.C. players have made the list of players joining Canada Soccer for the Concacaf Women’s U20 Championship qualifiers.

These upcoming matches will determine which teams advance to the Concacaf Women’s U20 Championship 2023 in the Dominican Republic, which will take place at the end of May.

But before that can happen, Jaime Perrault and the other B.C. players will have to join the rest of their teammates for the U20 preparation camps and qualifying matches, also taking place in the Dominican Republic.

Canada Soccer Women’s U20 head coach, Cindy Tye, said that this tournament will be a true test of how well her newly announced team can work together.

“I’m excited to bring this group together for the first time and test them in a tournament,” said Tye. “We will have to progress and adapt throughout the tournament, because we will not have the opportunity to integrate anything before the competition.”

“There are fantastic talents and I can’t wait to get started.”

The qualifiers will feature 32 teams split into six groups, with Canada competing in Group A. The other teams included in this group are El Salvador, Cuba, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Martinique.

The winners of each of the six groups will earn a spot in the championship.
