Canada announces 26‑man squad for 2026 World Cup

Canada Soccer released a 26‑player roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which the country will co‑host with the United States and Mexico. Coach Jesse Marsch called it the best squad ever assembled for Canada, highlighting defender Alphonso Davies – still recovering from a hamstring injury – alongside forwards Jonathan David and Marcelo Flores, midfielders Stephen Eustaquio and Tajon Buchanan, and several other young talents. An expanded provisional list of 32 players earlier this month added Niko Sigur of Hajduk Split.

Canada will open the tournament against Bosnia and Herzegovina on 12 June in Toronto, then face Qatar and Switzerland in Vancouver. The 48‑team format runs from 11 June to 19 July across the three host nations.

Other World Cup‑related developments include Morocco naming a squad rich in diaspora players such as Achraf Hakimi and Mohamed Ouahbi taking charge as head coach; Qatar seeking redemption after a disappointing 2022 performance under new coach Julen Lopetegui; and Bosnia and Herzegovina dealing with a goalkeeper injury (Osman Hadžikić) suffered in a friendly versus North Macedonia, which may force a roster change. These stories illustrate the extensive preparations and squad decisions shaping the upcoming tournament.
