SOCCER INTERNATIONAL friendly: Canada announces roster for Ukraine camp

SOCCER INTERNATIONAL friendly: Canada announces roster for Ukraine camp Canada has announced its roster for the upcoming national camp and Men's International Friendly match in Kyev, Ukraine. The Canadian team will face Ukraine this coming Friday 8 October at the Valeriy Lobanosvskyi in Kyev. The Canadian camp runs 3-9 October. Coach Hart has selected 18 players for the camp, 17 of whom play professional soccer in Europe. Only Dejan Jakovic, who has been eliminated before the Major League Soccer playoffs, will fly across the Atlantic ocean for the Men's International Friendly. Four players are taking part in their first national camp of the 2010 season: David Edgar, Marcus Haber, Olivier Occean and Julian Uccello. This means that coach Hart's pool has grown to 47 different players for the 2010 season, thus reflecting Hart's objective to see as many different players in this first year of a new FIFA World Cup™ cycle. Canada's next major competition is next year's CONCACAF Gold Cup. Ukraine, the 26th-ranked country on the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking, is one of the co-hosts for the UEFA Euro 2010 championship. 1- GK- Lars Hirschfeld NOR / Vålerenga Fotball Edmonton, AB, CAN 2- D- David Edgar ENG / Burnley FC Kitchener, ON, CAN 3- D- Marcel de Jong GER / FC Augsburg Toronto, ON, CAN 4- D- Dejan Jakovic USA / DC United Etobicoke, ON, CAN 5- D- Adam Straith GER / Energie Cottbus Victoria, BC, CAN 6- M- Nik Ledgerwood GER / SV Wehen Wiesbaden Lethbridge, AB, CAN 7- D- Paul Stalteri GER / Borussia Monchengladbach Brampton, ON, CAN 8- M- Pedro Pacheco POR / CD Santa Clara Ponta Delgada, POR 10- F- Simeon Jackson ENG / Norwich City FC Mississauga, ON, CAN 11- M- Issey Nakajima-Farran DEN / AC Horsens Calgary, AB, CAN 12- M- Julian Uccello ITA / FC Crotone Woodbridge, ON, CAN 13- M- Atiba Hutchinson NED / PSV Eindhoven Brampton, ON, CAN 14- M- Jonathan Beaulieu-Bourgault GER / SC Preußen Münster Montréal, QC, CAN 15- M- Josh Simpson TUR / Vestel Manisaspor Victoria, BC, CAN 16- F- Marcus Haber SCO / St. Johnstone FC Vancouver, BC, CAN 17- F- Olivier Occean GER / Kickers Offenbach Brossard, QC, CAN 20- M- Patrice Bernier DEN / FC Nordsjælland Brossard, QC, CAN 22- GK- David Monsalve FIN / Inter Turku Brampton, ON, CAN Head of Delegation / Chef de délegation : Victor Montagliani Head Coach / Entraîneur-chef : Stephen Hart Assistant Coach / Entraîneur adjoint : Tony Fonseca Goalkeer Coach / Entraîneur des gardiens : Paul Dolan Team Manager / Gérant d’équipe : Morgan Quarry Equipment Manager / Gérant de l'équipement : Mike Moretto Equipment Assistant / Adjoint de l'équipement : Ryan Bedic Doctor / Docteur : Dr. Mike Campbell Physiotherapist / Physiothérapeute : Ted Tilbury Physiotherapist / Physiothérapeute : Dave Foley
