Overview
- Valter Sedin was named to Canada Soccer’s U20 roster, a selection announced Saturday and sending him to the Maurice Revello Tournament in France starting May 31.
- Canada was drawn into Group B at the tournament with Venezuela, Japan, Ivory Coast and Portugal, giving Sedin high-level opposition and broad scout visibility.
- Sedin is a central midfielder who moved from the Vancouver Whitecaps academy to Hammarby’s academy in Sweden in 2025 and now plays for Hammarby’s under-19 side.
- He remains eligible for both Canada and Sweden after training with Sweden’s U17s in 2023–24 and with Canada’s youth setups more recently, so his senior choice is not yet locked.
- The Maurice Revello appearance is a step on a pathway that includes the July Concacaf U-20 Championship in Mexico and could influence selection for the 2027 U-20 World Cup or the 2028 Olympics.
