Canada continues its 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign with hopes of reaching the knockout stage for the first time in national team history. Co-hosting the tournament alongside the United States and Mexico, Canada opened Group B with a 1-1 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Toronto, earning the country’s first-ever World Cup point.
Jesse Marsch’s squad features a mix of established European-based stars and emerging talent. Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies headlines the roster alongside Juventus striker Jonathan David, Feyenoord forward Cyle Larin and FC Porto midfielder Stephen Eustáquio. Canada will complete its group-stage schedule against Qatar and Switzerland at BC Place in Vancouver.
Ahead of the crucial second match against Qatar, Marsch also delivered positive news regarding Davies’ fitness. “He’s been in training this week, and he’ll be available tomorrow, and we’ll see how the match goes and then make a decision on how we would choose to use him,” Marsch said. “We’ve worked really well through this, and Alphonso is looking really good.”

Canada’s roster is built around several players competing at top European clubs.
Davies remains the team’s captain and most recognizable star. The Bayern Munich defender has scored 15 goals in 58 appearances for Canada and famously scored the nation’s first-ever World Cup goal against Croatia in 2022.
Jonathan David enters the tournament after joining Juventus and is expected to lead Canada’s attack. He is joined by veteran striker Cyle Larin of Feyenoord, whose 78th-minute equalizer against Bosnia secured Canada’s first World Cup point.
The midfield group includes FC Porto’s Stephen Eustáquio, Olympique de Marseille’s Ismaël Koné, Toronto FC veteran Jonathan Osorio and Anderlecht midfielder Nathan Saliba.
Defensively, Davies is supported by Celtic defender Alistair Johnston, OGC Nice center back Moïse Bombito, Rangers defender Derek Cornelius and Toronto FC fullback Richie Laryea.
Canada’s 26-man squad represents clubs from Germany, Italy, France, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Scotland, England, Croatia, the United States and Canada.
