National Team Tackle

U20 Junior National Team

Our Junior National Team consists of the best 20-and-under-players from across the country competing in international tournaments.

Established in 2009, the International Federation of American Football (IFAF) World Junior Championship is the premier global tournament featuring the top under-20 American football players from around the world. Held biennially, the championship showcases emerging talent and fosters international competition.

Canada has been a dominant force in the tournament’s history, securing a record four championships. Notably, Team Canada achieved back-to-back victories in 2016 and 2018, becoming the first country to do so. Canada further solidified it’s international legacy with a third consecutive win in 2024, defeating Japan 20-9 in the final held in Edmonton, Alberta.
