By The Associated Press

Canada will play its home World Cup qualifiers against Costa Rica and Mexico next month at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Alberta, a venue with an artificial surface. Commonwealth Stadium has had Shaw Sports Turf Powerblade Elite 2.5S turf since 2016. Canada Soccer said it was tested July 19 and met the FIFA quality standard. Canada played its first two home qualifiers of the final round at Toronto’s BMO Field and hosts Panama in Toronto on Oct. 13. Canada announced its 27-man roster for October qualifiers, adding Toronto winger Jacob Shaffelburg.
