Familiar faces include international stars like Alphonso Davies , Jonathan David and Tajon Buchanan .

Jesse Marsch, seen during his time as manager of Leeds United, will coach the Canadian men's soccer team through July 2026. "They have someone that is a real tactician, someone that connects with players, that thinks differently about the game," Dunlop said.
