tough tournament for Canada.
That said, proud of the team for getting in...
lots of learning to do, and the gap is big at this point, but I really think that the grassroots of soccer in Canada is going to reap the benefits of this appearance and continue to grow the game.
Its taken a long time for an actual 'pathway' to a career in soccer to be carved out. With the CPL and MLS now established, good athletes may choose to stay in soccer instead of switching to other sports with more established or traditional routes to a pro career.
Hoping the program keeps their heads up and keep working for 2026
