About Canada Soccer’s Men’s National Team
 
Canada Soccer’s Men’s National Team will face New Zealand on 24 March during the upcoming FIFA international window. The two sides will meet in Murcia, Spain for the Saturday afternoon match at Pinatar Arena. This fixture will be the first official match with John Herdman at the helm of the Men’s National Team since he was announced as Head Coach and Program Director on 8 January 2018.
 
In 2018, Canada will participate in the new CONCACAF Nations League, the new national team competition platform created to maximize the match dates presented within the FIFA international calendar. The CONCACAF Nations League has been created to provide an avenue for more meaningful and quality international soccer matches while uniting the CONCACAF region through competition.  A CONCACAF announcement on the CONCACAF Nations League will be made 7 March 2018.
 
Canada are two-time CONCACAF champions, having won the CONCACAF Championship in 1985 and the CONCACAF Gold Cup in 2000. In winning the 1985 CONCACAF Championship, Canada qualified for the 1986 FIFA World Cup Mexico™; in winning the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup, Canada qualified for the FIFA Confederations Cup Korea/Japan 2001.
