Eight MLS players feature in Jesse Marsch's 23-man roster, with Minnesota United FC goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair, Vancouver Whitecaps FC midfielder Ali Ahmed and Nashville SC winger Jacob Shaffelburg regulars in recent camps.

A semifinal victory over Mexico sends Canada to the March 23 final against the USA-Panama winner. If they lose, they'll play the third-place match earlier that same day.

Canada

The CanMNT will compete in their second-ever Concacaf Nations League Finals, looking to win their first trophy in 25 years. Marsch's side reached the final four with a 4-0 aggregate victory over Suriname in the two-legged quarterfinal round.

Les Rouges reached the competition's final once before, in 2023, though they lost 2-0 to the United States.

Expect striker Jonathan David (Lille) and Vancouver Whitecaps homegrown export Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich) to be difference-makers. They've been prolific in UEFA Champions League play this season, tallying a combined 9g/2a.

Mexico

Mexico have reached the semifinals of every Concacaf Nations League to date, but are yet to raise the trophy after losing two finals against the United States.

That creates a clear target for head coach Javier Aguirre's team, which advanced past Honduras in the quarterfinals with a 4-2 aggregate win. And it adds pressure for El Tri stars to deliver, including Fulham striker Raúl Jiménez and AC Milan striker Santiago Giménez.

This Canada-Mexico matchup has blossomed into a budding rivalry in recent years, with both sides owning a 1W-1L-2D record in their last four meetings. That includes a 0-0 draw last October.
