Soccer-playing son of Canucks legend Henrik Sedin picked to represent Canada

Valter Sedin has taken another step forward in his soccer career.

Henrik’s eldest son was named to Canada Soccer’s U-18 squad for a pair of friendlies in Finland. Canada will play Finland on Sept. 5 and Switzerland on Sept. 7.

This camp marks an important step in the lead-up to the 2027 FIFA U-20 World Cup, with the qualification cycle beginning in 2026 at the U-19 level,” Canada Soccer announced.

Both Henrik and Daniel Sedin raised their families in Vancouver, where they starred for the Canucks for 18 years. That continued even after they retired from pro hockey in 2018, as the Sedins continue to call Vancouver home.
