The Canadian men's national team enters the 2026 World Cup as hosts with their strongest squad in history. After decades of building, Canadian soccer has produced a generation of players competing at the highest levels in Europe.
Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich) is the team's superstar, one of the fastest players in world football and a genuine game-changer at left back or on the wing. Jonathan David (Lille) is the goal threat, a clinical striker who has proven himself in Ligue 1 and Champions League. Stephen Eustaquio (Porto) controls the midfield with intelligence and composure beyond his years.
Canada's provisional squad features players from top European leagues alongside MLS talent. The blend of international experience and home-grown passion creates a unique team identity. Tajon Buchanan (Inter Milan), Alistair Johnston (Celtic), and Ismael Kone (Watford) add depth across the pitch.
As hosts, Canada is expected to advance from the group stage. With home crowd support at BMO Field and BC Place, anything is possible. The Canada jersey will be the bestselling kit in the country this summer.
