## Resource

With the start of the 2026 World Cup now less than a month away, the next few weeks promise to be a sprint to the start line for the 48 teams participating, especially for the co-hosts, the CanMNT, who are getting set for their first match against Bosnia & Herzegovina on June 12th. As Canada gets set to start their pre-World Cup camp in Charlotte in the coming days, Alex and Ben dive into the state of the Canadian squad, with Jesse Marsch set to officially name his 26-player squad for this summer on May 29th.  Who will make the 26? Who is set to miss out? They take a look at which battles are heating up with that May 29th date now less than two weeks away. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
