A Football Nation Rising
Canada has qualified for two World Cup finals in their history: in 1986, when the tournament was hosted by fellow 2026 co-hosts Mexico, and Qatar 2022. Just as hosting the 1994 World Cup proved to be a turning point in the trajectory of football in the USA, 2026 will be pivotal in developing a lasting legacy for the future of Canadian football.
The newly-formed Canadian Premier League was founded in 2017 and played its first season in 2019 featuring eight clubs. The league will form an important part of the roadmap to the FIFA World Cup 2026. There are also three Canadian teams that compete in the Major League Soccer in Montreal Impact, Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps, representing the three largest metropolitan areas.
