Despite there being no Team Canada, St. Clair College will be represented at the FIFAe World Cup.

Saints Varsity Rocket League player, Ario “Arju” Berdin, will represent his home country of Italy in Riyadh from Dec. 15-19 as part of the FIFAe World Cup 2025.

“I’m honoured to carry my country’s colours,” said Berdin. “It’s an incredibly proud moment for me and also a big responsibility.”

In the European qualifier, Team Italy defeated Turkey, Greece, Latvia, Finland and Portugal to advance to the FIFAe World Cup Finals. Italy joins 15 other teams including the United States, France, Brazil, Germany and England.

Canada was not represented in the tournament as the Canadian Soccer Association opted to not field a team.
