Canada captain Alphonso Davies has been declared fit to face Qatar in the 2026 FIFA World Cup opener. The clearance ends speculation regarding his availability following a recent hamstring injury.
The 25-year-old had been under strict return-to-play protocols at the team’s Vancouver training base. Medical staff monitored him closely due to his history of ACL surgery performed in December 2025, which previously disrupted his club season at Bayern Munich.
Head coach Jesse Marsch confirmed Davies participated in limited warm-ups on June 16 before receiving final medical approval. Despite earlier reports suggesting he might miss the match, the coaching staff has now authorized his return to active duty.
Davies remains a significant figure in both elite athletics and digital assets. He was among the first international soccer stars to launch a personal NFT collection through Binance in 2021. His current fitness status has not triggered observable movement in his digital portfolio.
