Upgrades to stadiums and playing surfaces will be necessary before Canada is ready to host the world in next summer's U-20 World Cup a FIFA site inspection team has determined.

FIFA delegates including vice president Jack Warner wrapped up a week long six city Canadian tour which made stops in Victoria, Burnaby, Edmonton, Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto.

'Nothing that needs to be done, can't be done. This is Canada, a country that can move mountains.'
