Team: Canada

Canada arrive at their home World Cup as the most talented squad in the nation's football history. After returning to the tournament in 2022 for the first time since 1986, the Canadians now host the 2026 edition on home soil. Bayern Munich fullback Alphonso Davies is the team's most recognizable star, while Jonathan David provides a prolific goal threat in attack. Jesse Marsch leads the squad with an energetic pressing game. With home crowds in Toronto and Vancouver, Canada have a genuine chance to make history at this tournament and go further than any Canadian side before them.

Canada complete the trio of host nations, and 2026 marks the first time the Maple Leafs have reached back to back World Cups. Their only previous appearances came in 1986 and 2022, both of which brought winless group stage exits.
