The Vancouver Whitecaps teenager made his senior international debut on Tuesday night, just a week after gaining Canadian citizenship
On a night when several players made their debut for Canada, teenager Alphonso Davies made history.
The 16-year-old entered Tuesday's friendly against Curacao in the 53rd minute, becoming the youngest player in Canadian national team history. A Ghanaian-born Liberian refugee, Davies completed his Canadian citizenship requirements last week, and was immediately called into head coach Octavio Zambrano's roster.
Playing as an attacker in a 4-3-3 formation, Davies made an impression in his 37 minutes of play.
