This is the first match of the World Cup where these teams face each other. For Canada, this is the third World Cup they have participated in. The two rivals met once in an international friendly in 2002, Canada winning 3-1.

The two are joined by Bosnia and Herzegovina, and last year’s host Qatar. These are two teams that have just arrived at the World Cup stage. Qatar took part for the first time in 2022 when it qualified as a host country. After four years, they are back hoping to build on a poor 0-3 performance where they scored just one goal. Bosnia and Herzegovina is back after a 12 year absence.

Sporting News looks at key details ahead of the game, including how to watch the game and kick-off times.
