Canada Soccer has named a 21-player squad for the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar, marking the nation's ninth appearance at the tournament. The team, led by coach Mike Vitulano, will compete in Group K against Uganda, France, and Chile from November 3 to 27. This expanded 48-team event offers Canada a chance to secure its first-ever win at the youth global competition.
The Canada Soccer Foundation has launched its Iconic XI Ambassador program, naming singer Shawn Mendes, hockey star Sidney Crosby, and actor Simu Liu as the first ambassadors for the upcoming FIFA World Cup 26. This initiative aims to unite Canadians behind the Men's National Team through cultural figures from various industries. The program will feature a total of 11 homegrown leaders to celebrate the team's preparation for the tournament.
