Some of the best young players in Canada descended on Laval, Quebec for the 2025 National Development Centre (NDC) Competition, as CF Montréal, NDC Ontario, and Canada Select went head-to-head across the U18 and U16 age groups in a high-tempo, high-quality showcase. A big thank you to CF Montréal for hosting and welcoming FTF to be part of the weekend—this event was a brilliant snapshot of the country’s player pool, and the athletes delivered a relentless, competitive standard from start to finish. For anyone who missed the action (or wants to rewatch), the full livestreams are available here: Day 1 (CF Montréal vs NDC Ontario), Day 2 (NDC Ontario vs Canada Select), and Day 3 (CF Montréal vs Canada Select)—and below, we’ve put together our FTF All-Star Teams to highlight the top performers who stood out across the competition.
