Moïse Bombito

Moise Bombito is a Canadian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back. Born in France to Congolese parents, he developed through French youth football before joining Colorado Rapids in Major League Soccer, where he established himself as one of the league's most composed young defenders. He earned his first senior call-up to Canada and became part of Jesse Marsch's squad building towards the 2026 cycle.

Bombito's place in Canada's 2026 World Cup squad was subject to earlier fitness disputes, but the Canadian federation confirmed he was available ahead of the tournament opener. Canada's roster was also significantly affected by Marcelo Flores, whose ACL injury ruled him out entirely.

Bombito's defensive solidity is considered important to Canada's group-stage prospects. Canada are appearing at their second consecutive World Cup — having qualified automatically as co-hosts after their 2022 Qatar appearance ended at the group stage — and the squad's defensive resilience will be tested against stronger opposition at a full 48-team tournament.
