Canada has qualified for the World Cup for the first time since 1986.

Canada defeated Jamaica 4-0 to go to the men's World Cup for the first time in 36 years.

With a win in Toronto, Canada will be assured of placing in one of the top three spots in Concacaf qualification for Qatar 2022.

Their most recent World Cup appearance was in Mexico in 1986, where they finished last in their group and failed to score.

Canada led 2-0 at halftime after to goals from Cyle Larin and Tajon Buchanan, before Junior Hoilett and an Adrian Mariappa own goal clinched the triumph.

The sell-out crowd at BMO Field erupted in ecstasy as Canada clinched World Cup qualification for only the second time.

As they celebrate, Canada's head coach, John Herdman, leads his team in the Viking Clap.

Les Rouges were brought to Qatar in their maiden qualifying campaign under English coach John Herdman, who led the Canadian women's team to consecutive Olympic bronze medals in 2012 and 2016.

"We recently qualified for the World Cup; this is a legitimate football country," Herdman remarked, recalling his time as a youth coach at Sunderland more than two decades ago.

"I don't think they believed us when I first took charge and stated, "We're going to qualify for the World Cup." I'm thrilled for them because they've waited and waited, and they've stuck with us - and now we're going.

"This country has never believed in us, I suppose, because we have given them nothing to believe in. They believe now.
