Canada's New Era Roster Revealed | MLS News

Canada’s men’s national team kicks off a new chapter under Jesse Marsch, gearing up for the 2030 World Cup with a stacked 26-man roster for friendlies against Chile, Peru, and the U.S. Alphonso Davies and Maxime Crépeau sit this one out—Davies is honeymooning after a tough World Cup, Crépeau grieving a family loss. But don’t worry, the squad’s loaded: Jonathan David, fresh off his Atlético Madrid debut, leads the charge alongside Villarreal stars Tajon Buchanan, Nathan Saliba, and Tani Oluwaseyi—all veterans of Canada’s historic World Cup run. Eight players on this list have made big transfer moves this summer, including Promise David (Brighton) and Liam Millar (Birmingham), who’s been scorching hot. Veterans Junior Hoilett and Samuel Piette return to mentor the next generation, while rising talents like Jeevan Badwal and Jovan Ivanisevic make their senior debuts. With Cyle Larin in top form and three strikers vying for minutes, these friendlies are crucial proving grounds ahead of the Concacaf Nations League—and Canada’s future looks brighter than ever.
