Veteran Forward Cyle Larin to Captain Canada Against Ivory Coast at Canadian Shield
- Gabe Biancheri, an 18-year-old forward from Manchester United's academy who was born in Wales to a Canadian mother, is currently training with the Canadian national team during the Canadian Shield Tournament in Toronto in June 2025.
- Biancheri sought a new challenge after spending nine years at Cardiff City and signing his first professional contract at 17 in September 2023 before joining Manchester United's under-21 side.
- He has played for Wales at various youth levels and participated in a training camp with the Welsh senior team, but remains eligible to represent Canada, England, and Italy, requiring a one-time FIFA switch to change his international allegiance.
- Biancheri expressed his desire to challenge himself by taking on a demanding opportunity, recognizing that joining United—one of the world’s premier clubs—would aid in his development.
- His training with Canada offers valuable experience and allows him to weigh his international options, while head coach Jesse Marsch embraces his potential and leadership alongside veteran players like Cyle Larin.
