They are overseen by the Canadian Soccer Association, the governing body for soccer in Canada. They have been a member of FIFA since 1948 and of CONCACAF since 1961.[6]
Canada participated in its second World Cup in 2022 after finishing first in CONCACAF qualifying. Canada competed in its first Copa América in 2024, finishing fourth.
Previously, their top achievements were to win the 1985 CONCACAF Championship to qualify for the 1986 FIFA World Cup[7] and winning the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup to qualify for the 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup.[8] Canada is the only national team aside from regional powerhouses Mexico and the United States to win a Gold Cup.[9] Canada also won a gold medal in the 1904 Summer Olympics.[10]
Canada will co-host the 2026 World Cup along with the United States and Mexico.
