Eight CF Montreal players will try to campaign for a possible spot in Canada’s national team for the 2022 World Cup.
On Wednesday, goalkeeper James Pantemis, defenders Joel Waterman, Alistair Johnston, Zachary Brault-Guillard and Kamal Miller, and midfielders Samuel Piette, Ismaël Koné and Mathieu Choinière were invited to Bahrain for a pre-selection camp that included a friendly against the team of this country on November 11th.
“As the camp takes place before the official international window, the Bahrain camp will mainly bring together players whose MLS season is over. The camp offers Canadian players the opportunity to acclimate to the heat and weather conditions of the Middle East while playing another important international pre-season game against an opponent from outside CONCACAF,” Canada Soccer said in a statement.
Among the CF Montreal players on site, Koné, Johnston, Miller, Waterman and Piette were part of Canada’s selection in September for a series of pre-season clashes. The last of this batch also stands out with a total of 64 selections within the formation of the maple leaf.
It’s also a return with the Canadian team for Brault-Guillard and Pantemis, who competed in the last qualifying round for the World Championship. Choinière will be playing his first camp for the senior national team.
