October friendly
- Oct. 15 vs. Panama - 7:30 pm ET | BMO Field - Toronto, Ontario
Jesse Marsch is looking to build on a successful September window, in which Les Rouges defeated the US men's national team in the United States for the first time since 1957 and played Mexico to a rugged 0-0 draw in Arlington, Texas.
That came on the heels of an impressive fourth-place finish at Copa América during the summer.
MLS call-ups
CF Montréal have three call-ups, with homegrown midfielder Nathan Saliba looking to build off his first CanMNT appearance. Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Toronto FC and Minnesota United FC each have two call-ups apiece.
Other highlights include winger Jacob Shaffelburg (Nashville SC) and goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau (Portland Timbers), both key starters early in Marsch's tenure.
Sporting Kansas City defender Zorhan Bassong has earned his first call to Les Rouges since 2020.
MLS alums
Former Vancouver homegrown star Alphonso Davies highlights Canada's squad, alongside six MLS alumni. That list includes Mathieu Choinière, the CF Montréal homegrown who recently joined Swiss top-flight side Grasshopper Club Zurich.
Theo Bair, Cyle Larin, Moïse Bombito and Derek Cornelius make up the remaining MLS alumni, with Larin coming into camp fresh off his first goal in LaLiga since May.
