JAKARTA Canada is the national team that plays the most matches in the U-17 FIFA World Cup compared to other teams. Unfortunately, there is a minor record that accompanies that record, they never won.

Canada is one of 24 countries that will participate in the 2023 Indonesia U-17 World Cup which will take place from November 10 to December 2.

Di ajang tersebut, Kanada memulai perjalanan dari Grup B bersama Spanyol, Mali, Uzbekistan. Mereka berturut-turut melawan Spanyol dan Uzbekistan di Stadion Manahan dan terakhir melawan Mali di Stadion Gelora Bung Tomo.

The 2023 U-17 World Cup will be Canada's eighth appearance. This is an opportunity for them to win their first win in this competition.

Canada has played a total of 21 matches in this tournament or the most among other teams. However, their best result was only four draws.

In that number of appearances they also only scored 10 goals and conceded 60 goals. Their chance to improve this record is now open in Indonesia.

Canada secured their place at Indonesia's U-17 World Cup after successfully reaching the Concacaf U-17 semifinals thanks to a 3-0 win in the knockout stages against Haiti and Puerto Rico.

They will come to Indonesia under coach Andrew Olivieri. Andrew was a goalkeeper while playing and represented various clubs in the United States and Canada.

She was previously an assistant to the Canadian women's national team before being appointed Director of the Canadian Football National Youth Team in 2018.
