The top 40 that we selected from this year’s Football Canada Cup has been one of the hardest ones I have ever been involved with,” commented Junior National Team Head Coach Steve Sumarah. “The talent at this year’s Football Canada Cup was exceptional all through the tournament; each team and each player at each position made for an incredible tournament.
