#CANMNT
Canada has named a 26-player squad for the March FIFA Window, blending experienced veterans with exciting new talent ready to make an impact.
This roster not only gives fans a chance to see Canada’s top stars in action, but also a glimpse of the next generation of Canadian talent. Bim Pepple and Marcelo Flores both have the opportunity to make their CANMNT debuts, with each looking to make a case for a spot in the FIFA World Cup squad over the next two matches.
While these are officially “friendlies,” the matches are meaningful and competitive. Both Tunisia and Iceland will be a strong test heading into the FIFA World Cup year. Tunisia are currently ranked 47th in the world, qualified for the FIFA World Cup in dominant fashion, going unbeaten in African qualifying with an impressive 9-0-1 record. They are exactly the kind of experienced and tournament-ready opponent Canada needs to face ahead of June.
Although Iceland missed out on FIFA World Cup qualification after finishing third in their European group, they continue to remain a physical and well-structured team. They are known for their high-intensity pressure. Fans at BMO Field can expect two competitive matches that will feel far from friendly games.
March 28 will be the first opportunity for fans to see Canada’s new NIKE 2026 kits in action. The collection is inspired by the spirit of the True North, merging tradition with the confidence of a team that has firmly established itself on the global stage. The home kit features a classic, bold Canadian red, while the away kit stands out in black with a distinctive cracked-ice maple leaf design.
Canada will wear the new home red kit on March 28th and the away black kit on March 31st.
With Canada’s FIFA World Cup Group B schedule now set, beginning at BMO Field on June 12 before matchups against Qatar and Switzerland at BC Place in Vancouver, these matches carry added significance. They serve not only as a celebration for fans, but as an important step in the team’s preparation for the summer ahead. Marsch has called on supporters to fill the stadium and help build momentum, making this a key moment to get behind a team on the rise in Canadian soccer.
The March international window will mark a significant milestone as Canada takes to the pitch at the newly expanded BMO Field for the first time. The stadium’s renovations are part of broader infrastructure enhancements in preparation for the upcoming FIFA World Cup, positioning it as a key venue on the global stage. This match not only represents a return to home soil for the national team, but also offers fans an early glimpse of the upgraded facility that will play a central role in hosting world-class soccer in Canada.
