Canada will play its first game since taking part at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar this past winter when they face Curacao on Saturday.
“They’ve strengthened, and I think the big difference as well, is that game that we played them in Vancouver, they were coming off the back of two games and they had a heavy travel schedule. This will be a fresh, motivated, intense Curacao team; it should be a good game.”Canada is looking to finish a top of its three-team group to qualify for the Concacaf Nations League Finals taking place June 15-18 in Las Vegas.
“Looking through that long-term evolution of the team and our future road, we have to dial it right back to two important matches in this window.” The three host nations won’t have to go through a qualifying process and therefore Herdman wants to make the most of tournaments such as the Nations League, Gold Cup and hopefully the next Copa America, which is expanding to include North American teams along with 10 South American sides.
Playing its first game back in Curacao won’t be easy for Canada. They are going from climate-controlled stadiums with pristine grass fields in Qatar to hot, muggy conditions on an uneven playing surface.
