The camp in Orlando has featured five players ? Fraser Aird, Marco Bustos, David ?Junior? Hoilett, Wandrille Lef?vre and Charlie Trafford ? gaining their first experience with the Men?s National Team.
?This camp has given us the opportunity to bring in some players that we haven?t had with us before,? said Assistant Coach Findlay.
?We have had a chance to evaluate the players physically and tactically; and to help integrate them into the plan that Benito wants to instil into the group.
?We?ve been really pleased with everyone?s performance and application and we?re excited about the prospect of starting the next round of FIFA World Cup Qualifiers? at home in Vancouver next month.?
The team will now travel to Washington on Saturday ahead of Tuesday?s fixture against the Ghanaians.
