Canada Soccer and head coach Jesse Marsch will officially unveil the team's 26-man roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Friday night.
Roster Selection Process
Thirty-two players were selected to attend training camp in Charlotte, N.C., which began earlier this week. Six players from the camp roster will miss out on their World Cup dream.
Injury Concerns
Key roster questions for Marsch centre on the health of several potential contributors. Canada may already be without captain Alphonso Davies for their opening game on June 12 due to a hamstring injury.
Forward Promise David, wingers Ali Ahmed and Jacob Shaffelburg, and defenders Richie Laryea, Alfie Jones and Luc de Fougerolles are all coming off injuries following the club season.
Defender Moise Bombito provided a positive update earlier this week as he declared himself "100 per cent" and expects to play in Canada's opening game against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bombito, 26, has not played since breaking his leg in a 2-2 draw with Monaco on Oct. 5.
Goalkeeper Decision
Marsch has already set his roster at goalkeeper, naming only Maxime Crépeau, Dayne St. Clair and Owen Goodman to the training camp roster. The decision on who will be Canada's starter remains to be made.
Crépeau and St. Clair will split duties in Canada's penultimate pre-tournament friendly against Uzbekistan in Edmonton on Monday.
Tournament Schedule
The CanMNT, drawn into Group B, will open their tournament on June 12 at Toronto Stadium against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Remaining group stage matches:
- June 18 vs. Qatar in Vancouver
- June 24 vs. Switzerland in Vancouver
