Yep. I was just as shocked. I would have prefer to just to go back to CIV honestly...They hosted such a wonderful edition in 2017 .

 

Or we could’ve just crossed the Congo River into Brazzaville, and that would have been much nicer too. 
 

By the way, it looks like Ontario may try to send a separate team from the Canadian one this year. Louisiana may also send a team as well...
