Players and fans alike are eagerly looking to build on the momentum still resonating from last month’s exciting 1:0 victory against Honduras in front of over 20,000 fans at BC Place, which set a new record for the largest crowd for Canadian Men’s National Team match in British Columbia.
“The crowd was fantastic,” said Will Johnson, whose header was knocked in by teammate Cyle Larin for the lone goal of the historic home win. “It was probably the best Canada crowd in front of which I have played in my career. The fans were unbelievable. It was a real treat to come in and see a lot of red everywhere.”

Canada are amongst the 12 CONCACAF nations in the hunt for a spot at the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The remaining nations have been split into three groups for the continent’s 2015-2016 semi-final stage.
