More Than a World Cup: Building Canada’s Football Identity

Canada's 2026 FIFA World Cup was more than a tournament of results. It offered the clearest picture yet of Jesse Marsch's footballing identity—and perhaps the beginning of something even more significant. As Marsch takes a hands-on role with Canada's U20s, the question is no longer how the senior team plays today, but whether Canada is finally building a football philosophy capable of carrying one generation to the next.
