Key Takeaways
Alphonso Davies is on the roster, giving Canada its biggest star for the home World Cup, while Jonathan David and Cyle Larin lead the forward group. The goalkeeper group is Maxime Crepeau, Dayne St. Clair, and Owen Goodman.
The squad also includes several important wide and midfield options, including Tajon Buchanan, Ali Ahmed, Stephen Eustaquio, Ismael Kone, Jonathan Osorio, and Jacob Shaffelburg. Team Canada noted that exactly half of this squad, 13 of 26 players, were also part of Canada's Qatar 2022 roster.
Why It Matters for Vancouver
Canada's Vancouver group-stage matches are now complete: Canada beat Qatar 6-0 at BC Place on June 18, then lost 2-1 to Switzerland on June 24. Canada still advanced from Group B in second place.
Canada completed its pre-tournament friendlies against Uzbekistan and the Republic of Ireland, then opened Group B with a 1-1 draw against Bosnia-Herzegovina in Toronto before heading west for its Vancouver matches.
