Canada — last major trophy
Time since last trophy
Canada beat Colombia 2-0 in Los Angeles for their only Gold Cup title, a rare high point for a program that has otherwise struggled to keep pace with Mexico and the United States.
Canada's only Gold Cup title came in 2000, beating Colombia 2-0 in Los Angeles, a rare high point in a football history otherwise defined by long absences from major tournaments. For decades after that win, Canada largely failed to be competitive at the continental or global level, not qualifying for a men's World Cup between 1986 and 2022. That changed dramatically with the emergence of a golden generation led by Bayern Munich winger Alphonso Davies and striker Jonathan David, who powered Canada to qualification for the 2022 World Cup — their first appearance in 36 years — and now toward co-hosting the 2026 tournament alongside the USA and Mexico. The current squad is widely considered the strongest in Canadian football history, and many see a first Gold Cup title since 2000 as a realistic near-term goal.
