CanadavsBosnia and Herzegovina

This match is one of the 72 group-stage fixtures of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, pitting two of the four teams in Group B against each other. Every group plays six matches over roughly two weeks, with the top two finishers in each of the 12 groups advancing directly to the Round of 32 — where the knockout bracket begins. The eight best third-placed teams across all groups also progress, so even a third-place finish can be enough to keep a campaign alive.

Canada head to the 2026 World Cup as co-hosts, riding a remarkable surge in the country's football culture that has seen the sport grow exponentially in popularity. Bosnia and Herzegovina have a proud footballing tradition that belies the nation's relatively short history as an independent state.

Canada: Canada's World Cup history is limited, having qualified only twice before 2026: in 1986, where they lost all three group-stage matches without scoring, and in 2022, where they again exited in the group stage but showed considerable improvement. Bosnia and Herzegovina: Bosnia and Herzegovina qualified for their first and only World Cup in 2014 in Brazil, where they were drawn into a tough group with Argentina, Nigeria, and Iran.

The match is scheduled at Toronto Stadium in Toronto, Canada. Kickoff is scheduled for Friday, June 12, 2026 at 07:00 PM (15:00 ET).
