Canada continue their ramp-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup as they take on the Republic of Ireland on Friday at Saputo Stadium in Montreal.

It's been a tough few weeks for head coach Jesse Marsch, as he works around a litany of injuries to the World Cup roster. Alphonso Davies continues to work back from a hamstring issue, and they lost Marcelo Flores to a torn ACL just days ago.

Yet despite that, Marsch managed to usher his team to victory in their first pre-World Cup friendly, beating Uzbekistan by a 2-0 score behind goals from Jonathan Osorio and Jayden Nelson.

Tonight, they meet the Republic of Ireland, ranked 59th in the world having failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup as they fell cruelly on penalties to Czechia in their playoff final.
