Canadian supporters still maintain confidence in their national team.

As one of the fans who closely followed Canada's entire campaign, Mr. Stas
in Ottawa still vividly recalls the emotions after the 6-0 victory over Qatar in the previous match. In his view, that was not merely a big win but also a game that highlighted the squad's unity. The moment when Saliba scored and held up his jersey to encourage an injured teammate moved him more than the scoreline itself.

Sharing with a TTXVN correspondent in Canada, Mr. Stas noted that each goal brings a unique feeling: "That victory was amazing, but the injury to a player left everyone disappointed. That's why the gesture of raising the jersey after the goal carried even deeper meaning. It embodies the spirit of the Canadian team."

Meanwhile, for Raul, a Sri Lankan-Canadian living in Ottawa, what makes him proud is not only the team's achievements but also the growth of football in Canada over many years.

Mr. Raul told a TTXVN correspondent in Canada that he has been a football volunteer and received proper training since the age of 10. What he takes the most pride in is the sense of unity that football fosters.

According to him, it's wonderful to see this sport thrive over the past 15 years and attract a large fan base as it does now. Raul believes Canada has had a successful tournament with convincing play, a united team, and a good coaching staff, despite some challenges with player injuries.

This year's World Cup is an occasion for Canadians to pay more attention to football. Mr. Raul mentioned that besides cheering for the host team, many people also have a fondness for African teams—football nations that previously received little attention but are now creating surprises in the tournament.

Meanwhile, Mr. Stas enjoys seeing Canadian fans enthusiastically support football. In his view, football is not a mainstream sport in Canada, but it's great to witness fans cheering wholeheartedly for the World Cup, and this presents a wonderful opportunity for both the team and the supporters.

Although the final result was not as hoped, the fans' remarks show that the 2026 World Cup is leaving an impression that goes beyond a mere sports event. For many Canadians, this is a chance for football to further expand its influence, connect diverse communities, and build a foundation for the long-term development of the sport in North America.
