International Duty: Youth Getting Noticed
For the first time ever Canada’s U21 team was invited to the Festival international espoirs – Tournoi Maurice-Revello. This tournament is allowing young Canadian players, and numerous Impact players, to make a name for themselves.
First team players Shamit Shome and James Pantemis were amongst the players selected by Canada. Notably, academy players (from the U19 team) Clément Bayiha, Daniel Kinumbe, and Mathieu Choinière were also chosen.
In their first match against Portugal on May 28th, Shome and Pantemis were both part of the starting lineup. Choinière also came in at the 53rd minute. Canada ended up drawing 0-0 against Portugal and putting up a very impressive and positive performance.
