Alphonso Davies — Canada World Cup 2026 Squad

Alphonso Davies remains Canada's biggest football name because there are still very few players in the tournament who can alter the pitch the way he can. He is 24, he plays for Bayern Munich, and he has 60 caps with 12 goals for Canada. Davies can start deeper and carry the ball forty metres, or he can play higher and attack a full-back directly. Either way, his pace changes defensive plans before the whistle. Canada need that in 2026 because co-hosting alone will not win them matches. They need one player who can drag the whole side up the pitch and turn a decent spell into a clear chance. Davies is still the strongest candidate.
