Canada Soccer announced on Jan. 31, 2026, that Julian de Guzman and Melissa Tancredi were named to the Canada Soccer Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2026.
Their induction reflects extended international careers with more than 200 caps, including World Cups and Olympic tournaments for Canada national teams.
De Guzman's career highlights include playing 513 games and becoming the first Canadian in Spain's La Liga, while Tancredi won 125 caps, 15 assists, and earned two Olympic bronze medals.
Canada Soccer said both players will be honoured later this year at national team home matches, with president Peter Augruso calling the induction a fitting tribute to their leadership and character.
