TORONTO — The Canadian men’s soccer team will return from its run to the round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup with matches against Chile and Peru this fall.
Canada Soccer announced Wednesday that the Canadians will host Chile at BMO Field in Toronto on Sept. 26 and Peru at Montreal’s Stade Saputo on Oct. 3.
Canada played both teams in the group stage of the 2024 Copa America, defeating Peru 1-0 and drawing Chile 0-0.
The match in Toronto will mark Canada’s return to BMO Field after earning its first-ever World Cup point in a 1-1 draw with Bosnia-Herzegovina on June 9.
