Developing Canada’s Exceptional Young Players
As part of the Canada Soccer Pathway, the EXCEL stream of player development — led by Canada Soccer, its provincial partners and Canada's professional clubs and private academies—is intended to ensure more of Canada's exceptional young players find their way into the best competitive environments.
This collaborative program will create a new national structure to channel talent into professional clubs, and, ultimately, to Canada's National Soccer Teams.
Over time, this fundamental transformation will produce more top Canadian players with the world-class skills needed to be truly competitive on the international stage.
