With Alphonso Davies returning to fitness at a crucial stage of the tournament, attention has shifted toward whether the captain will play a decisive role as the co-host looks to extend its unforgettable run. Canada stands just one victory away from reaching the 2026 World Cup quarterfinals for the first time, but a formidable Morocco side now stands in its path. With Alphonso Davies returning to fitness at a crucial stage of the tournament, attention has shifted toward whether the captain will play a decisive role as the co-host looks to extend its unforgettable run. The Round of 16 clash in Houston promises to be one of the most intriguing matchups of the knockout stage. Canada arrives full of confidence after breaking new ground, while Morocco continues to prove that its remarkable performances on the global stage are far from a one-time achievement. The Reds have already rewritten their soccer history during the 2026 World Cup. After reaching the knockout rounds for the first time, Jesse Marsch’s side secured its first-ever World Cup knockout victory by defeating South Africa 1-0 thanks to Stephen Eustáquio’s dramatic stoppage-time winner. That victory extended Canada’s impressive attacking form, with the team scoring nine goals while conceding only three throughout the tournament. The squad has also found the net in six consecutive matches, giving supporters genuine belief that another upset may be possible. Stephen Eustaquio #7 of Canada celebrates scoring a goal. The challenge, however, becomes significantly tougher against a Morocco team that has established itself among the world’s elite over the past four years. Morocco’s new identity could make another deep World Cup run possible Morocco enters the Round of 16 carrying momentum of its own after eliminating the Netherlands in a penalty shootout following a tense draw. The Atlas Lions have now stretched their unbeaten run to nine matches, reinforcing their reputation as one of international soccer’s most difficult teams to overcome. Since taking charge earlier this year, coach Mohamed Ouahbi has introduced a more possession-oriented style while maintaining the defensive discipline that made Morocco one of the biggest stories of the 2022 World Cup. Their remarkable passing display against the Netherlands showcased a side increasingly comfortable controlling matches rather than relying solely on counterattacks. Issa Diop #14 of Morocco celebrates a goal. The North African nation is also hoping to build on its historic semifinal appearance in Qatar by making another deep run in North America. Will Alphonso Davies play? Much of the pre-match discussion has centered around Alphonso Davies, who recently returned from a lengthy hamstring injury. The Bayern Munich defender will start on the bench, having made his first international appearance since March 2025 by coming off the bench against South Africa. He immediately providied greater attacking energy down Canada’s left flank. Alphonso Davies of Canada. Although his substitute appearance lasted only around 15 minutes, Davies created one of the team’s best opportunities and forced South Africa to adjust defensively whenever he received possession.

Full preview of Canada for the 2026 World Cup, including squad breakdown, key players, and tactical analysis of their chances. As co-hosts of the 2026 tournament, Canada enters the competition with elevated expectations and a genuine opportunity to make history. Following a 36-year absence that ended in 2022, the national team returns to the global stage looking to secure its first-ever victory in the competition. As one of the automatically qualified FIFA World Cup 2026 teams, the roster boasts a talented generation led by elite European-based stars. This Canada 2026 World Cup squad features a high-pressing identity designed to frustrate opponents and strike quickly in transition. With an experienced manager at the helm and a favorable group-stage draw, the team is primed to compete for a spot in the knockout rounds.

The preferred Canada formation is typically a flexible 4-4-2 designed to force turnovers high up the field. This ball-oriented pressing system aims to disrupt the opponent’s build-up play and create immediate attacking opportunities. In possession, the roster relies heavily on the elite pace of their wide players to launch devastating counter-attacks. Alphonso Davies and Tajon Buchanan provide significant width and dribbling ability, allowing the team to bypass defensive blocks quickly. The squad has proven defensively resolute in recent international fixtures, maintaining a compact shape that limits high-quality chances for the opposition. While their transition game is a major strength, a potential tactical vulnerability lies in breaking down deep defensive blocks when forced to hold possession. Opponents may look to exploit spaces left behind the advancing fullbacks during aggressive pressing sequences. Ultimately, this high-energy tactical approach makes the co-hosts a dangerous opponent capable of securing crucial results in the group stage. Jesse Marsch: The coach behind Canada Appointed in May 2024, the current Canada coach has quickly transformed the national team into a highly disciplined and aggressive unit. The American coach brings a wealth of top-flight experience, having previously won domestic titles with RB Salzburg before managing RB Leipzig and Leeds United in Europe. Jesse Marsch, head coach of Canada (Getty Images). His coaching philosophy is heavily influenced by the high-intensity, vertical style of play he honed throughout his career. Marsch is widely respected for his ability to instill tactical clarity and a relentless work ethic within his squads. During his playing days, he was a hard-tackling midfielder in Major League Soccer, a grit that now reflects in his managerial approach. His leadership and tournament experience will be critical as he guides the co-hosts through the intense pressure of a home competition. Key player: Alphonso Davies Alphonso Davies remains the undisputed face of Canadian soccer and the central figure in their tactical system. The 25-year-old Bayern Munich star brings invaluable elite-level experience to the roster, having won multiple domestic titles and a Champions League trophy in Europe. While he operates primarily as a left-back for his club, Davies assumes a much more expansive role for the national team. Often deployed further forward on the wing or as a central playmaker, he serves as the primary engine for the attack. His unrivaled pace and exceptional one-on-one dribbling ability allow him to break defensive lines effortlessly. The team’s transition-heavy style relies heavily on his capacity to carry the ball out of pressure. If Davies were to miss time due to injury, th
