Loic Kwemi has been named the Futsal Player of the Year by Canada Soccer after finishing as the second-highest scorer at the 2024 CONCACAF Futsal Championship.
The 27-year-old from Montreal netted six goals in three games, helping Canada reach the quarterfinals of the tournament in April in Managua, Nicaragua. Canada was eliminated after a 3-2 loss to defending champions Costa Rica, a match Kwemi missed due to suspension.
Futsal is a five-a-side indoor soccer game, played in two 20-minute halves.
In outdoor soccer, Kwemi contributed a goal in CS Saint-Laurent’s penalty shootout victory over HFX Wanderers FC in the Canadian Championship in May before joining Winnipeg’s Valour FC in late June. He made 14 appearances for Valour.
The futsal player of the year award was determined by officials from the national team program.
