Canada will meet Peru in a friendly match at Montréal's Stade Saputo. This game marks the start of a two-match period for Jesse Marsch's squad as they commence their build-up toward the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
For this camp, coach Jesse Marsch has selected 10 players from Major League Soccer. Among them are goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair from Inter Miami CF, Toronto FC defender Richie Laryea, and Mathieu Choinière, a midfielder for LAFC. The selection aims to minimize impact on clubs worldwide.
Canada approach this fixture following a victory over Chile, secured by a Jonathan David goal. This outcome places them second in their World Cup qualifying section. In their previous five matches, they have won three and lost two, one of which was a decisive win against Qatar.
Peru, whose world ranking is 50, most recently tied with Mexico. Jairo Vélez found the net in that match. Their coach is Mano Menezes, and the squad includes seasoned figures such as Orlando City midfielder Wilder Cartagena.
The match in Montréal will start at 19:00 local time. In Canada, it will be shown on TSN, RDS, and OneSoccer. Following this game, Canada will play the United States.
