Jonathan Osorio is entering the 2026 season with clarity about his priorities, even with the FIFA World Cup looming on home soil.
For the Toronto FC captain, the path to Canada’s biggest football moment still runs directly through consistent club performances.
“Yes, of course, a little bit extra, I guess, with the World Cup coming, but not going into it any differently than I have in the other preseasons,” Osorio said.
With six World Cup matches set to be played in Toronto this summer, there’s more motivation for Oso even with CanMNT set to play only their opener at BMO Field.
“I’ve always been motivated and excited to start every preseason, but yes, having that kind of in your subconscious, the World Cup is coming, it’s exciting,” he said.
