Timing is everything and the moment for author Murray ­Mollard’s book has arrived. ­Winning Pitch: The ­Canadian Men’s Soccer Team At The World Cup And Beyond ­(Harbour Publishing) is the first ­comprehensive history of the Canadian men’s soccer team and arrives on the eve of the nation ­co-hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup in June.

Book signings are Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. at Munro’s and ­Sunday from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. at Whistle Buoy Brewing Company and at 3 p.m. ahead of the Pacific FC versus Vancouver FC Canadian Premier League game at Royal Athletic Park.

“The book is meant for a wide audience who might not be familiar with the history of the national team heading into the World Cup, but some of the chapters dig deeper,” said Mollard, a lawyer and writer who played on two national-champion UBC Thunderbirds teams, and is a director of B.C. Soccer.
