Canada qualifies for the 2022 FIFA World Cup

Plane. To. Qatar.

For the first time since 1986 and for the second time in history, the Canadian men’s national team is headed to the FIFA World Cup.

John Herdman and co. have turned an entire nation’s dream into a reality in what has been nothing short of an hard-fought journey to world football’s biggest stage.

With qualification to Qatar sealed, Les Rouges are set play at consecutive World Cups for the first time ever, as Canada will co-host the 2026 FIFA World Cup alongside the USA and Mexico.

From dispatching Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Aruba, Suriname and Haiti in the first and seconds rounds, to recording momentous victories over Mexico and the USA on Canadian soil, the inspiring road to Qatar is one that will be spoken about for years to come.
