Canada will renew their rivalry with the United States in a high-stakes friendly on October 6 at Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minnesota. This will be the first meeting between the two nations since Canada's 2-1 victory over the U.S. In the 2025 Concacaf Nations League third-place match.
Canada enters this match on a high after ending a 67-year winless streak on American soil with a 2-1 victory in Kansas City in 2024. Both teams reached the Round of 16 in this summer’s World Cup, which Canada co-hosted alongside the U.S. And Mexico.
"The rivalry with the United States brings out the best in this group," said Canadian head coach Jesse Marsch. "We’ve had success in our last two meetings with them, and that only raises the standard for what we expect from ourselves. It’s another meaningful test as we build toward what’s next for this team."
Before facing the U.S., Canada will host Chile in Toronto on September 26 and Peru in Montreal on October 3. The team is currently sidelined without A. Jones and I. Koné, but they remain focused on improving their World Cup standing. Their recent form (2W-1D-2L in the last five matches) shows they are a team on the rise.
