Ottawa, Ontario – The Canadian Soccer Association announced today it has accepted, in principle, an invitation to the Copa America tournament to be held in Colombia, July 12-29, 2001. Organizers extended the invitation thanks to Canada’s victory at the Gold Cup in February.
The CSA sent a letter stating Canada’s acceptance in principle to Football Confederation President Jack Warner, pending further information on the FIFA Confederations Cup. The bi-annual tournament, featuring the champions of each Confederation, has been tabled at the upcoming FIFA Congress in Zurich on August 3.
