The Canadian men's national soccer team, overseen by the Canadian Soccer Association, has experienced little international success. In its first and only FIFA World Cup 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 2006 FIFA World Cup where it failed to reach the final stage of CONCACAF qualifying.

not in the near future unfortunely. i have to disagree with the person that said that the team has improved when the reality they havent at all. the reasons for this is that the salvadorian football federation is completly unorganized and inempt to helping out the team to be competive and reach a status where they can really compete against giants of the concacaf. like someone mentioned the league is also not competitve and that doesnt help the players cause. as a salvadorian it is disappointing but it isnt hopeless for the country to reach another world cup someday.
