Burnaby’s Emma Regan was among those named this weekend for Canada’s roster for next week’s CONCACAF under-20 women’s soccer championships in Trinidad and Tobago.
The eight-team tournament will see three teams from North and Central America and the Caribbean advance to the FIFA U20 women’s World Cup in France next August.
Regan, a fullback, will be pulling on the u20 Canadian jersey for a second CONCACAF tournament, having played in New Guinea in 2016. Last year she was on the roster for the u17 World Cup in Jordan, after having made her international debut with Canada’s u15 lineup as a 14-year-old.
She is part of a large contingent from the Vancouver Whitecaps Elite B.C. Soccer REX program, joined by fellow Lower Mainlanders Julia Grosso, Jordyn Huitema and Caitlin Shaw. Other Whitecaps’ Elite players are Teni Akindoju, Maya Antoine, Tanya Boychuk, Ashley Cathro and Jayde Riviere.
The CONCACAF championships run Jan. 18 to 28.
