Joao Plata will not be the only member of Toronto FC to wear his country’s colours in the month of June, as Julian de Guzman and Dicoy Williams will represent Canada and Jamaica respectively in the CONCACAF GOLD CUP.

“It’s a great honour to be part of the national team. It’s been a while since I’ve played with Canada so I’m very pleased to make the roster. The Gold Cup is very important especially with World Cup qualifiers later this year,” said Toronto FC midfielder Julian de Guzman.

“Representing Jamaica has always been a wish of mine and playing in the Gold Cup is big for me. I’ve always wanted to play in a big tournament with Jamaica and now I have that opportunity,” said Toronto FC defender Dicoy Williams.

Canada is in Group C and opens the tournament on June 7 in Detroit against the United States. Canada will then face Guadeloupe on June 11 in Tampa and Panama on June 14 in Kansas City to complete the round robin. Jamaica opens the tournament with Grenada on June 6 in Carson, California and then face Guatemala and Honduras in Group B.
