Canada

Canada's men's national team has surged from decades of obscurity to a genuine CONCACAF contender, powered by a golden generation featuring Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David. Playing an energetic, attacking style under a modernized federation, Les Rouges have re-energized soccer across the country. As co-hosts of the 2026 World Cup, Canada will play on home soil for the first time in tournament history.

Canada have qualified for two World Cups. Their debut came in 1986 in neighboring Mexico, where they lost all three matches without scoring a goal. A 36-year drought followed until the talented 2022 squad topped CONCACAF qualifying and reached Qatar, though they again exited in the group stage without a win despite competitive performances. With automatic qualification as co-hosts in 2026, Canada aims to record its first-ever World Cup victory in front of home fans.
