The Canada men's national soccer team (French: Équipe du Canada de soccer masculin)[3][4][5] represents Canada in men's international soccer. The team is governed by the Canadian Soccer Association (French: Association canadienne de soccer), the governing body for soccer in Canada. It has been a member of FIFA since 1912 and a founding member of CONCACAF since 1961.[6]
Canada participated in its second FIFA World Cup in 2022 after finishing first in CONCACAF qualifying. Previously, their top achievements were winning the 1985 CONCACAF Championship to qualify for the 1986 FIFA World Cup[7] and winning the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup to qualify for the 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup.[8] Canada is the only national team aside from CONCACAF powerhouses Mexico and the United States to win a Gold Cup.[9] Canada will co-host the 2026 World Cup along with the United States and Mexico.
Canada has won two titles in CONCACAF's premier competition (one CONCACAF Championship and one CONCACAF Gold Cup), and finished runners-up in the CONCACAF Nations League in the 2023 finals. It is also one of eight CONCACAF national teams to have participated in the Copa América, finishing fourth place in 2024 in its first appearance. Regionally, Canada won the North American Nations Cup as hosts in 1990 (organized by NAFU).
