15th President’s Cup

Canada participated in the 15th edition of the President’s Cup in June 1985. From the first group stage, Canada advanced after a 2:1 win over Ghana and a 0:0 draw with club Central Español. From the second group stage, Canada was eliminated after losses to Iraq and Korea Republic Olympic and a win over club Huracán. Of the five matches, only two are considered “A” matches – the win over Ghana in the first stage and the loss to Iraq in the second stage. Of note, Bruce Wilson served as player-coach with Tony Waiters away at FIFA World Cup Qualifiers meetings in Guatemala.
