CanMNT’s World Cup journey BEGINS in Charlotte!

It’s all starting to become real for the CanMNT, who have officially kicked off their World Cup preparation in Charlotte, North Carolina, where they’ve gathered for their pre-tournament training camp. Unfortunately, due to injuries and other club commitments, not everyone has made it to Charlotte, including Canadian captain Alphonso Davies, but otherwise, most of the 32 players who were called up to this camp are there. Now, the challenge for head coach Jesse Marsch is to whittle that group of 32 down to 26 players, which will be easier said than done. Speaking of Marsch, though, he’s already had a busy week, as he announced that he’ll stay on as CanMNT head coach through the 2030 World Cup, in what is a big coup for the Canadian program.

Alex, Ben and Brendan dive into everything you need to know about that squad, as well as about Marsch’s contract extension, before finishing with a chat about the favourites to win this World Cup, in this episode of the Northern Futbol Podcast.
