The Canadian Soccer Association announced today that six Vancouver Whitecaps FC players have been selected for an 11-day camp with Canada's U-20 men's national team. The camp will run from from November 20 to 30 in the United States and Costa Rica. The six selections for Whitecaps FC are the most from one club on the roster.
Head coach Nick Dasovic has called up Whitecaps FC midfielder Bryce Alderson and striker Caleb Clarke. The pair are joined by three Whitecaps FC Residency graduates in goalkeeper Callum Irving, defender Daniel Stanese, and midfielder Ben Fisk, as well as current U-18 Residency striker Yassin Essa.
Alderson, Clarke, and Fisk were last called up to the U-20 national team to participate in the Marbella Cup in Spain last month. Essa, Irving, and Stanese were previously called up by Dasovic for a July camp in Mexico.
Selected players were called in from professional clubs and academies in six different countries. Canada's top four professional clubs - Vancouver Whitecaps, FC Edmonton, Toronto FC and Impact Montréal - are all represented.
