36 years of waiting in Canada has ended. After 36 years, the Canadian national team will play in the World Cup again, officially after the Canadians' 4-0 victory against Jamaica in the North and Central America qualifiers for the World Cup. In the current national team, there is only one player who was alive when Canada last participated in the World Cup in 1986. This player is Atiba Hutchinson, a Besiktas legionnaire, for whom this is probably a dream come true. Speaking of the match, the Canadians who made history were Junior Hoilett, Tajon Buchanan, and Cyle Larin. Adrian Mariappa also scored an own goal. By the way, these maple leaf colors will be a good opportunity to celebrate the World Cup, as Canada, Mexico, and the USA will host the prestigious football event in 2026, and will participate as hosts. With this victory, Canada secured at least third place in the group and direct qualification to the World Cup. The next two spots will likely be taken by the USA and Mexican national teams, with Costa Rica likely playing in the inter-confederation playoff for World Cup qualification.
