The , overseen by the
Canadian Soccer Association , has experienced little international success. In its first and only finals appearance to date in
1986 , the team failed to score a goal and finished last. The
Canadian team, however, has enjoyed success in the
CONCACAF Gold Cup , surprisingly winning the tournament in
2000 and advancing to the semifinals in
2002 . However, thoughts that the side was emerging as a
Soccer power were at least temporarily discarded with a poor showing in the qualification rounds for the where it failed to reach the final stage of
CONCACAF Qualifying .
The Canadian team has been in a rebuilding phase since failing to qualify for the 2006 World Cup. Several long-serving veteran players retired from international football following the team's failure to qualify and head coach
Frank Yallop has been building around younger players in hopes of qualifying for the 2010 World Cup. On January 22, 2006, Canada held the highly favoured United States to a 0-0 draw in San Diego, though the Americans did not field their best possible squad on the day. A few weeks later, on March 1, 2006, the young Canadian side upset Austria 2-0 in Vienna. Substitute midfielder
Jim Brennan scored both goals for Canada in the second half while young goalkeeper
Kenny Stamatopoulos recorded the shutout in goal.
As in the United States, the
Canadian Women's National Soccer Team has enjoyed more international success than the men. The
FIFA rankings for
June 2005 have the men's team ranked 83rd out of 205
Countries while the
Women's Team is ranked 11th out of 121 countries. Both national teams languish to a large extent in the shadow of the country's highly successful
National Ice Hockey Team s, as
Ice Hockey is Canada's national winter sport.
