Five main centres, when you include Scottish and Victoria. I’ll say about five smaller venues, butterdome and the like. And a couple fields in all surrounding towns. Quite abit now.Kind of a stupid question, but how many indoor fields are there to keep kids active in soccer in the winter in Edmonton?
We always had good goalies.We can score and we have a goalie, the two things totally missing from previous Canada teams.
So if we take down El Salvador on Wednesday, would that basically seal it?

A lot of development goes on during the indoor season, it’s slot longer. A lot of teams practice in schools, there is a huge player base. But covid has winnowed it substantially. The fields are a mixture between outdoor sized soccer and hockey sized with cement and a “carpet” cover. Depending on the age depends on the turf. For instance a previous professional league played in the northlands coliseum. It was scary though as the hockey boards are hard and right there. The ball tends to play from fast to slow depending on the weather and the amount of rubber pellets on the surface. The bounces are all different from field to field.Nice. There are basically 3 main venues here in our area. We are fortunate to be able to play outdoors year around (outside of flooding events) but I was just wondering how Canada produces as many quality players as they do in spite of only having optimal weather for soccer roughly half of the year. What are the indoor pitches like? Artificial turf? How does the ball play on such surfaces? Is there a big futsal following up there?
A little of both. The 100% World Cup berth next 4years is the main thing.Is Canada super good all of the sudden, or have the good Canadian born players stopped changing their nationalities?
