Head coach John Herdman announced Sunday the 26-man squad that will participate in the 2022 FIFA Men’s World Cup to be held in Qatar.
Canada men’s senior soccer team head coach John Herdman has named the 26 players he feels are best fit to represent the nation at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Herdman confirmed that while Henry isn’t a part of the 26 eligible to play, he will remain with the team in Qatar and support the team in a different capacity while there. It was truly a team effort to get to Qatar as 39 players contributed to Canada’s World Cup qualifying run so spare a thought for those who didn’t make the cut as they all had a part to play in making this historic moment possible.
“I think it’s our X-factor in this World Cup,” Herdman said. “I made a conscious decision in the selection – there were over 40 players I could’ve chosen – I made it clear that those 26 had to be brothers. They had to be people who contributed, who we could rely on and I think this journey’s shown that. You never know what’s around the corner and every single one of them may have to step up and when they step up they’ve got to be trusted.
