VIDEO. Canada, a country that will rack up two World Cups over a four-year period, is home to a young footballer who will look to test himself with El Salvador.
A midfielder with Cuscatlecan roots dreams of playing for the soccer teams of The Savior. His name is Juan Eduardo Mejía.
Mejía is a creative midfielder who hopes to soon try his hand at one of the National teams.
Blue and white is the goal of Juan Eduardo Mejía, who recently received his respective documentation to one day represent El Salvador.
We want new generations of Salvadorans born in Canada to maintain the connection with our nation. 🇸🇻💙
It was a pleasure to accompany Juan Eduardo Mejía in his naturalization process, to realize his dream of playing football in the country. ⚽️
We wish you much success! pic.twitter.com/2WSnTu7Rvq

Juan Eduardo Mejía played for the Olympique de Marseille team of the Montreal Soccer League, a regional soccer league in Canada.
Mejía joins another case like that of Marcus Velado-Tegaye, who once tried out for El Salvador’s minor teams playing soccer in Canada.
