"Winning Pitch: The Canadian Men’s Soccer Team at the World Cup and Beyond" is a definitive look at the past, present and future of Canadian men’s soccer ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In 2026, millions of soccer fans will have their eyes on Canada as we co-host the Greatest Show on Earth: the FIFA World Cup in Vancouver and Toronto. And they will wonder—will Canada’s men’s team be heroes or heartbreakers? This book provides expert insight into the question of what it will take for Canada’s national men’s team and soccer in Canada to be successful in 2026 and beyond. Though it had recent success at the Copa América, Canada’s men’s soccer team has been here before. The incredible story of Canada’s first World Cup in 1986—featuring many players from British Columbia—and our second appearance in Qatar in 2022 were followed by big letdowns. They provide important lessons for the future.
