Things are looking up for the Canadian Lacrosse Association.

Two weeks after reaching an agreement with the National Lacrosse Team Players’ Association and five days after tabbing 24 players to travel to Israel for the upcoming FIL Men’s World Championship, the CLA announced Monday that it will host the event in 2022.

The games will be played at Percy Perry Stadium in Coquitlam, British Columbia — site of the 2008 and 2016 FIL U19 Men’s World Championships — from July 13-24, 2022. It will mark the first men’s senior championship that will be limited to 30 qualifying countries, as opposed to the 48 nations that will compete in Israel.

“The Federation of International Lacrosse is pleased to partner again with the City of Coquitlam, the organizing committee, and the Canadian Lacrosse Association to stage a FIL world event,” FIL president Sue Redfern said in a press released issued by the CLA. “FIL is actively evolving its world events and is confident that the host committee, under the leadership of Mr. Cliff Pascas, will again conduct an event that FIL and the international lacrosse community will be proud of.”

“We are delighted to host this world class event and welcome the best men’s lacrosse teams to British Columbia,” said Pascas, chair of the CLA bid committee.

Joey Harris, president of the CLA, said the organization is confident the local volunteer group will help “deliver a world-class event.”

“We look forward to welcoming the international lacrosse community to beautiful Coquitlam in 2022 and showcasing Canada's national summer sport to the world,” Harris said.
