I think we’re at the start of a positive feedback loop with Canadian soccer talent. Without a solid foundation under our men’s national team, plenty of high-potential Canadian talent eligible for other national teams chose not to play for Canada.

Now that we’re getting serious I think we’ll see our talent grow abroad but still come back to play for Canada.

Canada has a lot to be proud of with this men’s team, and even more to look forward to in 2026 and beyond. Not long ago we had close to nothing, and our domestic development is only growing with the creation of the CPL.

Also to anyone who wants to see more Canadian soccer, I can’t recommend our women’s team any harder!
