Red Bull New York defender Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty has been named to the Canadian men's national team camp ahead of its final two friendlies before rosters for the 2026 FIFA World Cup are due on June 1. While the final World Cup spots are deciphered in the UEFA and intercontinental play-offs, Canada an automatic qualifier for the tournament as a co-host alongside the United States and Mexico has tune-up matches against Iceland on March 26 and Tunisia on March 31.
The home jersey is an iconic Canadian red featuring a big, stemless maple leaf in the middle. The position and shape of the leaf bears resemblance to the hockey jersey worn during the 1972 Summit Series. Unlike the aforementioned hockey jersey, the World Cup jersey is split down the middle and has a two-tone colour scheme, while a red pair of shorts complements the jersey.
