About

Canada Soccer High Performance Pathways

The Canada Soccer Pathway is formed by three streams of play: recreational, competitive, and EXCEL, the high performance arm of Canada's soccer landscape. It identifies the environments a player should look for, train, and compete in, in order to progress from the local club to Canada's national teams. Visit Canada Soccer Pathway (LTPD) for more information.

As part of the Canada Soccer Pathway, the Men's Excel Stream, led by Canada Soccer in collaboration with our provincial partners, as well as the country's professional clubs and private academies, will ensure more of Canada's exceptional young players find their way into the best competitive environments. Visit Canada Soccer Men's Excel Stream for more information.

As part of the Canada Soccer Pathway, the Women's EXCEL Program is designed to ensure more of Canada's exceptional young female players find their way into the best competitive environments, so that our women's national team is provided with a steady stream of players meeting high standards to keep us competitive on the world stage.
