Carducci is the first Canadian Premier League player to get called up to the men’s national team.
“Marco is deserving of this opportunity, and has shown his high level ability game in game out this season in the CPL and our Canadian Championship run,” said Tommy Wheeldon Jr. , Cavalry FC head coach. “He is the ultimate professional that has represented Canada at the youth levels and now gets the chance to be involved at the full international level, based on his club performances.

From his establishment through McKenzie United community soccer and Calgary Villains program, Carducci, left home as a 14-year old to pursue his dreams of playing professional soccer later landing on the Vancouver Whitecaps roster.
