At last, we have a Canadian men’s national team friendly announcement.
John Herdman’s side will go up against Iran in the first of several friendlies leading up to the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
As announced by Canada Soccer, the match will take place at BC Place, home of the Vancouver Whitecaps, on Sunday, June 5th.
The friendly against Iran will be the first time the men’s national team plays at BC Place since Les Rouges’ 4-1 victory over French Guiana on March 24th, 2019.
Iran should prove to be a worthy opponent for Canada, given that they have qualified for four of the last five FIFA World Cups, and are the No.
