Bangu U20 Overview

There really is nothing like the World Cup. Even just qualifying generates a level of nationwide excitement that the club game simply cannot match, which is why we witnessed truly joyous scenes all across the globe as one country after another secured a spot at this summer's festival of football in North America. The final six participants were confirmed in March, with Sweden, Turkiye, Czechia and Bosnia & Herzegovina taking the four remaining slots in Europe, while Iraq and DR Congo came out of the inter-confederation play-offs.

The 2026 World Cup could spark a soccer boom in Canada, but shortages of fields, facilities, coaches and funding may limit the sport's growth.

After admitting he was "sore" following 30 minutes in a warm-up friendly, Canada decided to prioritize his long-term health.
