Canada wins right to host 2007 world under-20 soccer championship
posted August 9 @ 14:47, EST
TORONTO (CP) - Canada has won its bid to host the 2007 world under-20 soccer championships.
The World Youth Championship is second only in size and history to the World Cup, FIFA's marquee event. It features 24 countries and 52 games spread over three weeks. Kevan Pipe, chief operating officer of the Canadian Soccer Association, declined comment on the bid. But two sources confirmed that Canada will host the event.
The CSA has scheduled a "major announcement" at a news conference Tuesday morning in Toronto, with FIFA vice-president Jack Warner, CSA president Andy Sharpe and local MP Tony Ianno in attendance.
Securing the under-20 championships finalizes $35 million worth of federal and provincial government funding for a new Varsity Stadium, which falls in Ianno's downtown Toronto riding. The $80-million outdoor stadium, which will be home to the CFL's Toronto Argonauts and University of Toronto football team, is slated to hold 25,000.
The under-20 tournament will be held in six cities across Canada. Expect Edmonton, Montreal and Ottawa and Toronto, thanks to the planned stadium, to be automatic choices. Hamilton and Winnipeg are possible venues, with Vancouver also in the mix with Whitecaps owner Greg Kerfoot having talked of a new facility there.
FIFA mandates that the final be played in a stadium that seats 30,000-plus. Given that, and the success of the inaugural women's under-19 championship in 2002, the final of the 2007 event would seem destined for Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium.
The only other FIFA world championship hosted by Canada was the 1987 under-17 competition, which took place in Toronto, Montreal, St. John's and Saint John, N.B.
The current Canadian stadium mix will mean a significant portion of the competition will be played on artificial turf. FIFA has opened the door wider to that possibility in recent months, changing the laws of the game to permit play on sanctioned artificial surfaces. The Canadian senior side is due to play on artificial turf in Costa Rica in a World Cup qualifying game in October.
Ten matches, including the final, of the 2003 world under-17 championship in Finland were played on artificial turf.
Molson Stadium in Montreal and Frank Clair Stadium in Ottawa are FieldTurf surfaces already approved for international play by FIFA. CFL venues in Hamilton and Winnipeg sport different new-generation artificial turf surfaces that would have to get approval.
The new stadium in Toronto is destined for an artificial surface, Pipe has said previously, but there has been some talk of using real grass for the FIFA tournament and then moving to an artificial surface.
Starting in Tunisia in 1977, the world under-20 tournament has been held every two years, with the 2005 competition slated for the Netherlands.
A total of 73 countries have taken part.
Over its history, the tournament has averaged 15,476 fans per game with a cumulative 8.1 million having attended the 524 matches. The 2003 edition, in the United Arab Emirates, drew a total of 592,100 spectators.
Canada qualified in 1979 in Japan (when it finished 13th), 1985 in the Soviet Union (14th), 1987 in Chile (10th), 1997 in Malaysia (14th), 2001 in Argentina (24th) and 2003 in the United Arab Emirates (eight).
The 2003 Canadian team made history by reaching the quarter-finals before losing to Spain 2-1 in extra time.
As host country, Canada has an automatic berth in the 2007 field.
For Canadian fans thinking the sky's the limit, only two host countries have ever won the title: Portugal in 1991 (with the likes of Luis Figo and Rui Costa in the lineup) and Argentina in 2001.
Brazil has qualified for the tournament 13 times and won the title four times. Argentina has also won it four times. The other six crowns have gone to European countries.
The Soviet Union (1985), Chile (1987) and Australia (1993) all made it to the semifinals as hosts.
The tournament is a launching pad for some of soccer's best, with the likes of Argentina's Diego Maradona and Javier Saviola, Brazil's Dunga and Ronaldinho, England's Michael Owen, France's Thierry Henry and David Trezeguet, Ireland's Damien Duff and the Netherlands' Marco van Basten all having taken part.

Re: Yipeeeee!
J'espère que l'on va se doter de stades dignes d'une compétition de cet envergure.Christian a écrit :La meilleure nouvelle pour le soccer au Canada depuis la qualification des rouges en 1985 pour la CM 86.
Quand je vois le field turf avec les lignes peinturées lorsque l'on joue au soccer et bien j'aime mieux que l'on investisse pour une rénovation complète du CCR.
J'ai bien hâte de connaître les détails lors de la conférence de presse...

Excellente nouvelle en effet !
J'espère qu'on va avoir des stades dignes de l'évènement
Et surtout, qu'on ne va pas y toucher après pour les massacrer comme on en a la fâcheuse habitude ici
Mais plutôt les remplir avec des équipes et des spectateurs !
Et pourquoi en 2007, chacun de ces stades ne serait-il pas l'hôte d'une équipe de A-League ?

Re: Yipeeeee!
Je suis d'accord. Encore il va falloir voir si cela rapportera quelque chose à long terme. Comme dit BXL BOY une équipe en A-league dans tous ces villes serait une bonne ideé. Toronto ou Montréal pourrait peut-être avoir une équipe de la MLS. Malheureusement je crois que ce serait Toronto.Christian a écrit :La meilleure nouvelle pour le soccer au Canada depuis la qualification des rouges en 1985 pour la CM 86.

C'est officiel !!!!!!!
At a media conference held in Toronto today, the Federation Internationale de Football Association, FIFA, announced the 2007 edition of the FIFA World Youth Championships will be staged in Canada.
FIFA Vice President and CONCACAF President Jack Warner of Trinidad and Tobago, confirmed that the FIFA Emergency Committee, at its meeting held in Zurich on August 6, unanimously awarded the Championship to CSA.
“It gives me a great deal of pleasure to confirm that this awarding of the 2007 FIFA World Youth Championship has been taken by FIFA as a result of the Emergency Committee meeting,” stated Warner. “Recent meetings between FIFA and CSA have led to agreement on most issues related to the staging of this event and as a result of this and the decision by FIFA to stage this Championship in Canada, the construction of Varsity Stadium can now fully proceed.”
In his letter to CSA President Sharpe, FIFA President Blatter praised the Association for the “…outstanding organization of the inaugural FIFA U-19 Women’s Championship in 2002 and the professional approach that you and your team has taken in requesting to host this tournament. We thank you for your kind cooperation and very much look forward to working with you for the 2007 edition of the FIFA World Youth Championship.”
A major factor in FIFA agreeing to move the timetable forward concerning awarding this event to CSA was the recent decision by the Governments of Canada and Ontario on May 21, 2004 to financially support the development of Varsity Stadium with a joint $35 million contribution to this project. The only condition cited in the awarding of this grant was the requirement by FIFA to stage the World Youth Championship in Canada in 2007.
“As a result of today’s announcement, we believe that FIFA has acted with unprecedented speed and that this shall now allow the University of Toronto, The Canadian Soccer Association and its other partners to proceed with the construction of this state of the art, 25,000 seat, $80 million stadium so that it will be ready to host the Championship’s official opening ceremonies and opening match featuring Canada, tentatively set for July 1, 2007,” concluded Warner.
“On behalf of the 900,000 playing members of CSA, I want to thank FIFA for the unique way in which they have responded to our request to host this event,” stated CSA President Andy Sharpe. “The faith and trust they have invested in the CSA will be repaid with energy and commitment in ensuring that this U-20 Men’s World Youth Championship will be the best ever event in the history of FIFA. We will spare no effort over the next three years to achieve success and will now commence immediate work with FIFA to ensure we move forward with speed to begin immediate work on this, the biggest event CSA has ever held. ”
The FIFA World Youth Championship is a three- week long, 24 nation, 52-match tournament featuring the best young 20-year-old players in the world. It is the second largest event staged by FIFA after the FIFA World Cup, including such graduates as Maradona, Saviola, Luis Figo, Rui Costa, Bebeto and Dunga as well as Canada’s Craig Forrest and many members of the current Men’s World Cup Team including Julian de Guzman, Paul Stalteri, Atiba Hutchinson and Iain Hume.
Last held in CONCACAF in 1983 in Mexico, Canada’s most recent participation in this event occurred last December when its squad had its best ever finish, losing to eventual silver medalist Spain on a golden goal in the quarter finals in the United Arab Emirates.
The Championship will take place in six major stadiums in at least four major regions across Canada with the tentative dates for the tournament set for July 1-22, 2007.

Le Canada obtient les mondiaux de soccer de 2007
Le Canada a mérité les droits afin de présenter le Championnat du monde de soccer des moins de 20 ans en 2007.
Cette compétition d'envergure regroupe 24 pays pour un total de 52 parties sur une période de trois semaines.
Ce tournoi se déroulera dans six villes canadiennes. Montréal, Edmonton, Toronto et Ottawa feraient partie de ces villes.

Justement, pourquoi ne pas profiter de ce tournoi pour up-grader le CCR.Daniel a écrit :Tout espoir n'est pas perdu pour CCR: je regardais les stades pour Hollande 2005 et sur 6 stades, 4 font entre 8 500 et 15 000 places, tandis que tous sont en dessous de 25 000.
J'aime mieux cette alternative. De plus, le tournoi est en juillet et les alouettes ont besoin de McGill j'imagine...

Moi aussi j'aimerais qu'on renove le CCR mais je ne pense pas que les Alouettes representent un probleme tant qu'a l'utilisation de McGill pour la CM U-20. Les Alouettes selon moi ne pratiquent jamais a McGill.Tant qu'a une partie de saison reguliere de la LCF les Alouettes en joueront une ou un maximum de 2 a Montreal durant la duree du tournoi. Je suis convaincu qu'ils peuvent s'arranger. Ils peuvent jouer ces parties au stade olympique. Ils joueront d'ailleurs deux fois au stade olympique cette saison. Une partie en saison reguliere et une autre durant les eliminatoires. Alors pas de probleme selon moi si l'ACS veut utiliser le stade McGill.

Je ne pense pas que la Fifa va laissé utiliser un terrain plein de taches noires, même si bien décoloré...
Par contre, un upgrade de CCR est envisageable, j'en ai eu d'autres échos...
Tout le monde à qui je parle ici depuis des mois réclame un stade de soccer qui ressemble à quelque chose...
C'est l'occasion ou jamais pour tout le monde de se faire mousser
Maintenant, il nous faut un ARCHITECTE d'urgence !!! Car j'ai peur qu'on se retrouve avec du n'importe quoi qui coûte les yeux de la tête...

On sait jamais avec la FIFA. Je crois qu'elle se sert un peu de cette CMJ pour "acceptabiliser" le Fieldturf.
À voir l'inertie générale des dirigeants de l'Impact et de l'ACS, je ne serais guère surpris (mais attristé) par la solution facile qu'est McGill.
Et les autres échos viennent de quels... milieux, disons?

De quelqu'un qui gravite autour de l'Impact mais n'en fait pas partie
Pour le field turf, oui
Mais même décolorées, on voit encore trop les traces des lignes et des pubs de CFL
Je pense que la Fifa voudra un terrain parfaitement vert pour une telle compétition
