\"\"Last weekend Canada<\/a> clinched its first World Cup<\/a> berth since 1986. 2022 will be the second appearance ever for Canada at the tournament.<\/p>\n

Today is the day that Canada finds out what group they’ll be placed in. The World Cup draw is being done in Qatar and will determine their opening-round opponents.<\/p>\n

Canada closed out their qualifying campaign with a 1-0 loss in Panama on Wednesday, even with the loss they finished on top of the table. But while they finished atop their region, Canada dropped five spots in the world rankings released yesterday, from #33 to #38. That means Canada is grouped with the lowest-ranked teams for the draw.<\/p>\n

The 2022 FIFA World Cup<\/a> runs from November 21 to December 18 in Qatar.<\/p>\n
