Canada has been drawn into Group C for the upcoming FIFA World Cup Mexico 2011. At the Official Draw in Ciudad México, Mexico on 17 May, Uruguay, Canada, England and Rwanda were all drawn as group opponents for the opening stage.
Canada’s three group matches are 19 June against Uruguay, 22 June against England and 25 June against Rwanda. Canada’s three group matches will all be played in Pachuca, with the first two matches kicking off at 18.00 local and the third match kicking off at 15.00.
“There is no easy group (in this competition),” said Canadian head coach Sean Fleming. “All three teams (Canada’s opponents) should have great qualities.”
The FIFA U-17 World Cup Mexico 2011 features 24 teams. Sixteen teams advance to the Round of 16, with the top-two teams from each group automatically qualified along with four of six third-place teams.
The FIFA U-17 World Cup Mexico 2011 runs 18 June to 10 July. Matches will be played in Morelia, Monterrey, Pachuca, Torreon, Queretaro and Guadalajara. All players are born in 1994 or later.
This will mark Canada’s fifth participation in the event. Canada qualified after finishing second at the 2011 CONCACAF Men’s Under-17 Championship. Canada’s next preparatory camp is 19-29 May in Sunrise, FL, USA.
