- On Tuesday, Canada Soccer released a 26-player roster for friendlies in Toronto and Montreal, but Captain Alphonso Davies and goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau were absent from the squad.

- Midfielder Samuel Piette and 36-year-old attacker Junior Hoilett, affectionately known as "O.G." by the team, returned to provide mentorship for the upcoming cycle.
- Marsch emphasized preparing for November's Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal, with star Jonathan David leading the team as the road to the 2030 World Cup begins.
