TORONTO, Canada—2021 is looking to be a be bit better on at least one front—International Soccer.
Coming less than a week after Canada Soccer announced that the CANWNT will be participating in the 2021 SheBelieves Cup this February, the men’s team dropped some news of their own:

It’s now confirmed that the 2021 Olympic Qualifiers will go down in Guadalajara, Mexico, from Mar. 18-30, 2021. It will be a bubble tournament featuring eight Men’s U-23 National sides.
Those eight teams are: Mexico, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Canada, El Salvador and Haiti. They will be split into 2 groups, and games will be split across two venues: the Jalisco and Akron Stadiums in Mexico.
The groups are set for the 2020 Concacaf Men’s Olympic Qualifying #CMOQ

We can only speculate as to what roster Canada will take down south, but we do at least know how we can watch it — Fox Sports and TUDN (Mexico/USA) and One Soccer (Canada).
The men’s national team was last in action one year ago: Jan. 15, 2020 vs. Iceland.
