Ottawa, Ontario – The Canadian Men's Olympic (U-23) Team will tonight compete with cross border rivals USA in its second Group A match of the Final Round of CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying tonight at 8 p.m. (local/CT).

Canada is presently in fourth place in Group A after losing their opening match 1-0 to Honduras on Tuesday. Canadian midfielder David Masciantonio and defender Chris Pozniak are available for tonight's match after missing Tuesday's match due to suspensions amassed in Canada's previous qualifying series against El Salvador.

The Americans are now first in Group A after defeating Panama 4-3 in the other Group A match on Tuesday.

The top two from each group, at the conclusion of the first round (February 7), will advance to the semi-finals set for Tuesday, February 10th at the Estadio Jalisco at 17:30 (local/CT) and 20:00 (local/CT) respectively.
