On March 27, Canada qualified for the World Cup with a victory over Jamaica in Toronto.
With goals from Cyle Larin, Tajon Buchanan, and Junior Hoilett, Canada earned its first World Cup berth in 36 years.
"As tiny kids, we all dreamed of this, and as a Canadian, it seemed unattainable.The unthinkable happened today," Jonathan Osorio, a midfielder, remarked, "It's a great feeling."
Since 1986, Canada has made one appearance in one of the world's most prominent sporting events.
With a 1-0 loss to Costa Rica last week, Canada missed out on a chance to qualify for the Qatar World Cup.
It was Canada's first defeat in three World Cup qualifying rounds.
“Canada is a football nation, man. We better believe it. “And we're going to keep coming. We've only gotten started,” Canadian Coach Herdman said in a past interview.
Coach John Herdman became the first coach in history to lead both a men's and a women's team to the World Cup.
From 2011 to 2018, he was the head coach of the Canadian women's team.
In the last qualifying round, Canada leads the table with 28 points, followed by the United States (25 points), which holds a goal difference advantage over third-place Mexico (25) in the standings.
In Sunday's late games, the United States defeated Panama 5-1 and Mexico defeated Honduras 1-0.
