Final pre-World Cup tournament
This summer's event will be Canada's last official tournament before co-hosting the FIFA 2026 World Cup next year along with the United States and Mexico.
It also provides a measuring stick of the progress made under head coach Jesse Marsch. The former CF Montréal and New York Red Bulls boss took over the program last May, guiding Les Rouges to third-place finishes at the 2024 Copa América and 2024-25 Concacaf Nations League.
Will the Gold Cup, a competition Canada won for the first and only time in 2000, be a watershed for Marsch & Co.?
