Canadian soccer unveils new blueprint, looks to host men’s World Cup in 2026
TORONTO – The Canadian Soccer Association has unveiled its latest strategic plan, which includes bidding for the 2026 FIFA men’s World Cup.
The 2014-18 blueprint is titled “Leading a Soccer Nation.”
The goals include consistently qualifying for FIFA competitions, which has been a problem for the national men’s team.
The Canadian men are currently ranked 111th in the world and their lone World Cup participation was in 1986.
The CSA plan also calls for mandating technical development across the country and establishing a national player database.
