Canada men’s soccer coach John Herdman says financial investment must happen quickly ahead of hosting World Cup
On the eve of the CONCACAF Nations League semi-final against Panama, Canada coach John Herdman sounded another warning that help is needed off the field for his team to continue to flourish on it.
The 47th-ranked Canadian men go into Thursday’s game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas with four days of preparation. “Things are changing but it’s got to change quick,” Herdman told reporters. “It’s going to come down to dollars and the investment and a commitment and words turning into actions quickly. Because we’ve got a team here that has got a chance of doing something really special at a home World Cup [in 2026]. You can feel it. You can smell it. But we need that change.”
The Canadian men are looking for their first trophy since lifting the CONCACAF Gold Cup in 2000. If they get past Panama, they will face either the 13th-ranked U.S. or No. 15 Mexico in Sunday’s final, also at Allegiant Stadium.The Canadian men have played just two games since last year’s World Cup in Qatar, wrapping up Nations League group play in March by defeating No. 80 Honduras 4-1 and No. 88 Curacao 2-0.
