Newsroom Ready: Canadian men to face Switzerland, Qatar and possibly Italy at 2026 World Cup

As The Canadian Press reporter Neil Davidson explains, Canada's draw for next summer's World Cup started well but finished with a twist. The Canadian men drew Switzerland and then Qatar -- but the last selection threw up a yet-to-be determined European team that could be Italy. The 12th-ranked Italians are taking part in a European playoff in March along with Wales, Northern Ireland and Bosnia and Herzegovina. (Dec. 5, 2025)
