Hosting the Men’s FIFA World Cup for the first time, Canada aren’t one of the sports betting favourites to lift the trophy, but they will fancy their chances of getting out of Group B.
Home advantage is bound to be a key factor for the Canucks in the group stage as they take on Switzerland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Qatar.
Only two of Canada’s 26-man World Cup squad play for Canadian teams. Richie Laryea and Jonathan Osorio represent Toronto FC in MLS, while six others play for other MLS franchises.
What is the average salary for Canada players?
The average weekly salary in the Canadian squad is around £35,000. There are some players on £10,000 or less, but plenty in Europe’s biggest football betting leagues are on tens of thousands per week or even more.
Canada’s squad features players at some of the world’s richest clubs, including Juventus and Bayern Munich.
Others are in Europe’s top five leagues, such as Sassuolo, Villarreal, and Marseille.
Who are the top earning players for Canada?
Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David are Canada’s highest-earning players. Davies’ salary is reportedly £280,000 per week. Davis is on more than £100,000 per week with Juventus.
Tajon Buchanan is on roughly £60,000 per week at Villarreal.
How much does the Canada manager earn?
Jesse Marsch’s predecessor was on less than £1 million per year. It is expected that Marsch is on at least £1 million per year, particularly after signing a contract extension through 2030.
Marsch was only approximately £2.4 million per year as Leeds United manager.
