MONTREAL – The Canadian Soccer Association announced on Tuesday that defender Yohan Le Bourhis (previous club: CS Mont-Royal Outremont) will take part in the CONCACAF Men’s Under-17 Championship from April 21 to May 7, in Panama.


Le Bourhis has just returned from a two-week camp in Toronto where he impressed head coach Paul Stalteri, who selected him in his 20-player group for the competition.


In the group phase, Canada will face Costa Rica on April 22, Cuba on April 25 and Suriname on April 28. Only two teams from each group will move on to the next round. The four semi-finalists will then qualify for the 2017 FIFA U17 World Cup, in India.


Canada last made it to the FIFA U17 World Cup in 2013, in the United Arab Emirates.
