Canada's men's national soccer teams compete at various age levels, including U-23 (or Olympic), U-21, U-20, and U-17.

Many of Canada's current internationals have played at one or more of these age levels early in their career, often working with the same coaches and teammates throughout their progression into the senior squad.

Canada U-20

Canada's under-20 compete at the FIFA U-20 World Cup level, a tournament that Canada hosted in 2007, going scoreless and winless in first-round play. In 2001, Canada hosted a group in the CONCACAF qualifying cycle for the tournament in Argentina later that year, winning their group at Swangard Stadium in Vancouver.


Canada U-23

Unlike UEFA member associations that use under-21 regional competitions as Olympic qualifying, as a member of CONCACAF, Canada's under-23 team competes in regional qualifying in the same year as the summer Olympics and its call-ups are traditionally only limited to players under 23 years of age.

Canada won the football competition at the 1904 Summer Olympics in the United States, represented by Galt Football Club in St. Louis. The club side from modern-day Cambridge area defeated two American colleges to claim the gold medal several years before football at the Olympics was organized into competition between national sides and decades before age restrictions were put into place. The International Olympic Committee recognizes the 1900, 1904 and 1906 editions of the tournament as official international results while FIFA does not. Canada hosted the 1976 Summer Olympics, where the standing record for attendance at a soccer match in the country was set.

2008 qualifying

Known for his vocal antics on the touchline, Nick Dasovic led Canada through Olympic qualifying in 2008, drawing Mexico 1-1 and helping to eliminate the heavily favoured Mexican side in the process. After a highly promising 5-0 win over Guatemala on a night when Mexico had to better that result against Haiti but could only win 5-1, Canada fell to the United States 3-0 in the semifinal, losing out on a spot in Beijing at the Olympics that summer. Canada recovered to defeat Guatemala in the third-place playoff, a rematch of their first round game, winning on penalties (5-3) after a scoreless draw through 120 minutes.


The following players were called up to the Canada U-23 Men's National Team camp 13–20 March 2012 in Sunrise, Florida for the 2012 CONCACAF Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournament.
