The '''Canadian men's national soccer team''' is overseen by the [[Canadian Soccer Association]] and represents [[Canada]] in international competitions at the senior men's level. The team's home stadium is [[BMO Field]].The side has traditionally struggled to earn recognition at home and abroad while experiencing little international success. The [[Canada women's national soccer team|Canadian women's national soccer team]] has enjoyed more international success, and both national teams languish to a large extent in the shadow of the country's highly successful [[Canadian national men's hockey team|ice hockey team]]s, as [[ice hockey|hockey]] is Canada's ''de facto'' national sport, and despite the popularity of youth soccer, there are limited professional avenues for young players within Canada.
==History==
{{main|Canadian Soccer Association#History|l1=History of the Canadian Soccer Association}}
===Early years===
[[Soccer]] was being played in Canada before rules were formalized in Britain, with the '''Dominion Football Association''' (1877) and '''Western Football Association''' (1880) acting as precursors to the modern-day [[Canadian Soccer Association]]. In 1885, the WFA sent a representative team to [[New Jersey]] to take on a side put forth by the '''American Football Association''', the then-unofficial governing body of the sport in the [[United States]]. In an unofficial friendly, Canada defeated their hosts 1-0 in [[East Newark]], [[New Jersey]]. The American team won 3-2 in a return match one year later. In 1888, a team represented the WFA in a tour of the British Isles, earning a record of nine wins, five draws, and nine losses. The squad comprised 16 Canadian-born players with the only exception being tour organizer David Forsyth, who had immigrated to Canada one year after his birth.<ref name=history>[http://www.canadasoccer.com/eng/history/index.asp?sub2=14 "History of Soccer in Canada"]</ref>
In 1904 ''Galt Football Club'' represented the WFA at the [[Olympic Games]] in [[St. Louis]], [[Missouri|Miss.]] As just one of three teams competing, Galt defeated two American clubs, [[Christian Brothers College]] (7-0) and [[St. Rose]] (4-0) to win the tournament. No medals were awarded at the time as the competition was a demonstration event, but the IOC subsequently awarded Canada a gold medal and upgraded the status of the competition to an official event.
In 1905, a British team of touring amateurs nicknamed the '''Pilgrims''' toured [[Canada]], with their match against [[Galt Football Club|Galt]] billed as the "championship of the world". The match was played in front of almost 4000 fans in [[Galt, Ontario|Galt]], now part of [[Cambridge, Ontario|Cambridge]], [[Ontario]], and ended in a 3-3 draw.<ref name=history/>
The Canadian national team toured [[Australia]] in 1924, playing a series of "test" friendlies against their hosts, including their first official match, a 3-2 friendly defeat to [[Australian national football team|Australia]] in [[Brisbane]] on [[June 24]], [[1924]]. In 1925, Canada played their old rivals [[American national football team|the United States]] in [[Montreal]], winning 1-0 on [[Ed McLaine (footballer)|Ed McLaine]]'s goal. In a return match in November of 1925 in [[Brooklyn]], [[New York]], Canada was defeated 5-1. One year later, Canada lost 6-2 to the [[American national football team|United States]] in the same city before playing four internationals in a 1927 tour of [[New Zealand]].<ref name=history/>
===World Cup qualifying 1957 to 1985===
Following the lead of British football associations, Canada withdrew from [[FIFA]] in 1928 over a dispute regarding broken time payments to amateur players. They rejoined the confederation in 1946 and took part in World Cup qualifying in the '''North American Football Confederation''' (a precursor to [[CONCACAF]]) for the first time in 1957, the first time they had played as a national team in 30 years. In their first qualifier, Canada defeated the [[American national football team|USA]] in [[Toronto]] 5-1, but lost two games in [[Mexico]] (failing to play a home game due to financial reasons) 2-0 and 3-0 before defeating the [[American national football team|USA]] 3-2 in [[St. Louis]]. [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]] advanced as group winners, meaning that Canada missed out on the [[World Cup 1958|World Cup]] in 1958 in [[Sweden]].<ref name=history/>
Canada secured qualification for the [[1986 World Cup]] after beating [[Honduran national football team|Honduras]] 2-1 in [[St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador|St. John's]], [[Newfoundland and Labrador|Newfoundland]] in 1985.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://archives.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/topics/2273-13478/|title=Canada cracks the World Cup|date=1986-05-30|publisher=CBC Sports|language=english|accessdate=2008-07-16}}</ref> [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]] had qualified as hosts, with Canada earning the remaining [[CONCACAF]] spot and the ''de facto'' title as [[CONCACAF Championship|CONCACAF champions]]. At the [[World Cup 1986|finals]] in [[Mexico]] in 1986, Canada impressed in a 1-0 loss to [[French national football team|France]] in the first round before losing to both [[Hungarian national football team|Hungary]] and the [[USSR national football team|USSR]] 2-0, finishing at the bottom of the group.
===1990s===
In 1990, Canada took part in the [[NAFC Championship]] for the first time, hosting the three-team tournament. [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]] and Canada sent their full squads, but the [[American national football team|USA]] sent a 'B' team and does not count the games as official internationals in its records while [[CONCACAF]] does not recognize the 1990 tournament on their website.<ref name=nafc> [http://www.concacaf.com/competitions/goldcup/allTheTime.aspx "CONCACAF"]</ref> Canada won the [[1990 NAFC Championship|tournament]] after a 1-0 win over the [[American national football team|United States]] on [[May 6]] and a 2-1 win over [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]] on [[May 13]]. All three Canadian goals were scored by [[John Catliff]], the tournament's top scorer.
In the [[1993 CONCACAF Gold Cup]] Canada suffered their greatest ever defeat, an 8-0 loss at [[Estadio Azteca|Azteca Stadium]] in [[Mexico City]] to the host nation [[Mexico national soccer team|Mexico]].
The team failed to qualify for [[FIFA World Cup 1998|France 98]], losing out in the "hexagonal" final stage of [[CONCACAF]] qualifying.
===Gold Cup===
In 2000, Canada won the [[2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup|CONCACAF Gold Cup]] after emerging from the first-round on a coin-toss tiebreaker with invited side the [[South Korean national football team|Republic of Korea]]. A quarter-final extra-time upset over [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]] on [[Richard Hastings]]' [[golden goal]] set the stage for an unprecedented run to the final, where Canada defeated [[Colombian national football team|Colombia]] 2-0 at [[Memorial Coliseum]] in [[Los Angeles]], [[California|Calif.]] Canada swept the awards ceremony, with goalkeeper [[Craig Forrest]] winning MVP honours, [[Carlo Corazzin]] securing the Golden Boot, and [[Richard Hastings|Hastings]] named "Rookie of the Tournament".
Winning this tournament earned Canada a place in the [[2001 FIFA Confederations Cup|2001 Confederations Cup]] and the [[Copa América 2001]].
===21st Century===
Canada has enjoyed relative success in the [[CONCACAF Gold Cup|Gold Cup]], with third-placed finishes in [[2002 CONCACAF Gold Cup|2002]] and [[2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup|2007]] (alongside [[Guadeloupe national football team|Guadeloupe in 2007]]) on either side of disappointing first round exits in [[2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup|2003]] and [[2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup|2005]]. In [[2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup|2007]], under interim coach [[Stephen Hart (soccer)|Stephen Hart]], Canada won their group before losing in the semi-final to the [[American national football team|USA]]. After the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States]] were reduced to ten men, Canada were controversially denied a stoppage-time equalizer on a play incorrectly flagged offside by Mexican referee [[Benito Archundia]]. In total, the team's 2007 record consisted of four wins, three losses, and three draws.
In qualifying for both the [[2002 FIFA World Cup]] and [[2006 FIFA World Cup]], Canada was unable to capitalize on their [[CONCACAF Gold Cup|Gold Cup]] successes, failing to reach the final stage of [[Football World Cup 2006 - North, Central American and Caribbean Qualification Groups|CONCACAF qualifying]] on both occasions.
On [[June 7]], [[2006]], head coach [[Frank Yallop]] resigned for a job with the [[Los Angeles Galaxy]] of [[Major League Soccer]]. Yallop, whose record with Canada was 8-9-3 since his hiring as national team manager on [[December 16]], [[2003]], returned to the league where he began his coaching career as an assistant in 1999 with the [[Tampa Bay Mutiny]]. The former Canadian international had won [[MLS Cup]] titles with the [[San Jose Earthquakes]] in 2001 and 2003. On [[May 18]], [[2007]] the [[Canadian Soccer Association|CSA]] named [[Dale Mitchell (soccer)|Dale Mitchell]] as the new head coach of the senior team. He took over after coaching the under-20 side to three defeats in the [[2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup|FIFA U-20 World Cup]] in Canada in July of 2007.
Members of the media <ref name=Dobson>[http://www.kickabola.com/archive/index.php/t-1910.html "In the Year 2015"]</ref> and former national team players, including Rogers Sportsnet commentator and [[2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup]] MVP [[Craig Forrest]]<ref name=forrest>[http://www.cbc.ca/sports/fifau20/blog-forrest/2007/07/a_turning_point_in_canadian_so.html "A Turning Point in Canadian Soccer"]</ref>, have stated that the Canadian national program and player development system is in need of a major overhaul. In 2007, the '''Canadian Soccer Supporters United''' organized a campaign to have spectators wear black "Sack the CSA" t-shirts at the friendly between Canada and [[Costa Rica national football team|Costa Rica]] at the [[BMO Field|National Soccer Stadium]].<ref name=notes>[http://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/columnist.jsp?content=20070914_144011_5388 "Notes from the sea of black"]</ref>
==Stadium==
Canada's national stadium is the [[BMO Field|National Soccer Stadium]] in [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]], known as [[BMO Field]] when local resident [[Toronto FC]] of [[Major League Soccer]] play at home. The squad has expressed a preference for the grass surface at [[Saputo Stadium]] in [[Montreal]], [[Quebec]],<ref name=Saputo>[http://www.tsn.ca/soccer/story/?id=235495 "Saputo Stadium to host Canada's World Cup qualifier"]</ref><ref name=preference>[http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/sports/story.html?id=843c94a3-16d8-45fb-a10c-8c73fceb3fea "Grass always greener to CSA"]</ref> however, with the [[June 20]] [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] qualifier in [[2008]] against [[Saint Vincent and the Grenadines national football team|St. Vincent & the Grenadines]] played there.
Only one of Canada's three home games in the third round of CONCACAF qualifying for the 2010 World Cup will be played at BMO Field.

===Note===
<nowiki>*</nowiki>Prior to 1991, the [[CONCACAF]] [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] qualifying cycle doubled as the regional championship and is considered the precursor to the modern [[CONCACAF Gold Cup|Gold Cup]]. [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]] had qualified automatically in 1985 as [[FIFA World Cup 1986|World Cup 1986]] hosts and did not take part in qualifying. Canada earned the remaining [[CONCACAF]] spot and were named continental champions without lifting a trophy.
