OTTAWA, ON-- Former Winthrop men's soccer standout is among 18 players in training camp with the Canadian men's national team, which arrived in Florida at the beginning of the week for an 11-day training camp.
The camp, which is taking place in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, includes nine players from Major League Soccer and three players from the United Soccer Leagues.
Reda, who plays for Toronto FC of the MLS, has six caps with the national team. He earned his first senior cap versus Northern Ireland February 9, 2005.
In FIFA's 2006 year-end world rankings, Canada was the eighth-ranked country in the CONCACAF conference. Canada will look to improve its standings this summer when it takes part in the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup in the United States from June 6-24. The tournament will feature its biggest prize pool ever since CONCACAF has announced prizes have more than doubled for all winners and qualifiers in the 12-team tournament. From the tournament’s 16-year history (eight finals), Canada were Gold Cup champions in 2000.
