By Jaime Uribarri

Meet Jonathan Osorio.

The legendary Toronto FC midfielder will represent Canada at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Osorio is one of four MLS midfielders on the CanMNT roster, alongside the LAFC trio of Mathieu Choinière, Stephen Eustáquio and Jacob Shaffelburg.

MLS background

Osorio has spent all 14 years of his professional career with Toronto FC, becoming an immediate contributor upon signing a homegrown contract in 2013. 

The midfielder featured for TFC's legendary 2017 treble-winning side (MLS Cup, Supporters' Shield, Canadian Championship) and was the tournament joint-top scorer (four goals) during the club's run to the 2018 Concacaf Champions Cup final. 

A three-time Canadian Championship winner, Osorio was named Toronto captain ahead of the 2024 MLS season.
