History Made Again: CANMNT Reach Record FIFA Ranking
Canada Soccer’s Men’s National Team achieve highest-ever FIFA ranking less than one year from FIFA World Cup 26™

Canada Soccer’s Men’s National Team have moved up two spots in the latest FIFA Men’s World Ranking, rising to #26. This new milestone surpasses the previous program best of #28, set just one month ago in August 2025. Canada have been on a remarkable rise since February 2024, climbing 24 places from #50 to #26 in just over a year and a half.
Canada’s September FIFA window featured two historic victories in Europe: a 3-0 win over Romania (FIFA Rank #51) and a 1-0 victory over Wales (FIFA Rank #30). These results mark the first time in program history that Canada have beaten three UEFA opponents in succession (Ukraine, Romania, Wales). Romania was also CANMNT’s first victory on European soil against a UEFA nation since 2009.
Looking ahead, CANMNT are set to play four more fixtures this fall against nations ranked inside the FIFA Top 50. October will feature a highly anticipated return to Montréal, where Canada will face Australia (FIFA Rank #25) at Stade Saputo on 10 October (BUY TICKETS), the first Men’s National Team match in the city since 2017. The window will conclude with a match against Colombia (FIFA Rank #13) on 14 October. In November, Canada is set to play Ecuador (FIFA Rank #24) in Toronto on 13 November (BUY TICKETS) and Venezuela (FIFA Rank #49).
