Canada Soccer’s Men’s National Team Head Coach John Herdman has a message for fans as Canada embarks on the road to the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar: “we want our country to connect around this team.”

This Fall, Canada will kick off 2018-19 Concacaf Nations League Qualifying with an away match in September and then a home match on 16 October at BMO Field in Toronto. Concacaf Nations League is a new competition in which every match counts. The first step will be to get through four qualyfing matches between now and March 2019 to earn a spot in Concacaf Nations League Group A as well as the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup.

“We want our country to connect around this team.”
