FootyHeadlines has leaked a potential Canada home kit for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
A maple leaf with different shades of red across the front — and no update to the crest.
I’ve heard other plans for the World Cup kit, so take this with a grain of salt.

FT Thoughts:
- #VanRiseFC should be happy with the win, but...a 1-goal lead is not enough heading into an away leg
- 2nd half was quiet from home side
- Cowart's injury is worrying; Lake is only healthy CB
- Nothing solved yet; all to play for in Ottawa

- De Filippo, Chang, Pechersky have all had good games so far

37' - #VanRiseFC are buzzing around for a third. Pechersky has a shout that's saved uncomfortably by Dagenais. The GK has to scramble to hold onto it.

22' - GOAL - Abdu with the brace! Great ball in from De Felippo to find Abdu, who streaks into the 18-yd box from well outside.
Great control from Abdu to get the shot away.

10' - Okamoto smartly plays up to Ward. Ward runs down the left, cuts inside into the 18-yd box with a solid shot. Dagenais parries it enough that it goes wide.

It's Leg 1 of the #VanRiseFC - Ottawa Rapid #NSL semi-final!
Both clubs finished with near-identical records (11W-6D-8L). The Rapid clinched the higher table position based on goal difference.
But tonight, none of that matters! It's a home-and-away tie to advance to the final.
