Pacific FC of the Canadian Premier League (CPL) will hold youth development camps in seven cities across Mexico as part of the club鈥檚 international youth training programs.

The camps will take place in Mexico City, Puebla, Ciudad Ju谩rez, Quer茅taro, Aguascalientes, Metepec, and Guadalajara. Open to male and female players born between 2009 and 2012, the camps aim to provide opportunities for young talent in Mexico to develop their skills.

鈥淲e are excited to expand our reach internationally and evaluate talent from young players in Mexico,鈥� said Paul Beirne, managing director of Pacific FC. 鈥淥ur commitment to youth programming now extends beyond Canada鈥檚 borders.鈥�

The club will also launch the second phase of its Who Got Next? open trials, to be held in Metepec, on Dec. 8. These trials offer aspiring soccer players in Mexico the chance to showcase their skills and potentially join Pacific FC. Players over the age of 18 are eligible to participate.

Chris Merriman, assistant coach club鈥檚 first team, will evaluate participants, with the opportunity for successful candidates to earn an invitation to the team鈥檚 2025 pre-season camp and possibly secure a professional contract.

Between 10 and 16 youth players selected from the Mexican camps will be invited to Victoria to train at Pacific FC鈥檚 first-team facilities and compete in a tournament against Canadian teams. 

Further details about the Canadian tournament will be announced in the coming months.
