Canada’s men’s national team is set to start their summer with highly anticipated clashes against Ukraine and the Ivory Coast this weekend at BMO Field in Toronto, as part of the newly inaugurated Canadian Shield tournament.
Canada Soccer, in partnership with Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment, have organized the tournament as a lead-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, allowing Canada and the visiting nations of Ukraine, New Zealand and the Ivory Coast to face opponents outside of their confederations.
