Match PreviewPreview: Canada vs Bosnia and Herzegovina
History at BMO Field: the first men’s World Cup match on Canadian soil, as the co-hosts open against a returning Bosnia side.
This is history before a ball is kicked: the first men's World Cup match ever played on Canadian soil, at Toronto's BMO Field. Canada are co-hosts and back at the finals for a second straight tournament after ending a 36-year wait in 2022, and this time they arrive with belief.
Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David give Canada genuine pace and a cutting edge, and a home crowd will expect a winning start. Bosnia and Herzegovina return for the first time since their 2014 debut, still leaning on veteran striker Edin Dzeko and a hard-working European core.
Bosnia will look to slow the game, frustrate the hosts and pounce on a set piece; Canada will trust their energy and the crowd. Kick-off is 22:00 in Kenya time. Back your team and make your score call on the match page.
