The second co-host of the 2026 World Cup begins its campaign today with a clash against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Canada has lost each of its six previous World Cup matches three in 1986 and another three at the last World Cup four years ago in Qatar.
The Canadians will be looking to secure their first-ever World Cup victory.
Bosnia showed great resilience in qualifying for the tournament via the UEFA playoffs, defeating Wales and Italy in succession.
Qualifying for the World Cup 12 years later, Dzeko’s team is looking for its second win in the World Cup finals and perhaps to go far in the competition.
For this match, Canada may be without captain Alphonso Davies due to a hamstring strain, while defender Moise Bombito (leg) is expected to miss the group stage.
Bosnia, meanwhile, will be without Haris Tabakovic (ankle), while veteran Edin Dzeko remains doubtful after missing Tuesday’s training session due to a shoulder issue. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. GMT.
