It’s shaping up to be a great Friday in Toronto as FIFA World Cup 2026 co-hosts Canada open their Group B campaign against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Jesse Marsch’s squad is packed with exciting talent ready to shine on home soil, including Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies, Villarreal winger Tajon Buchanan and Juventus striker Jonathan David, who is Les Rouges’ all-time goalscorer. Davies has been ruled out of the opening game after failing to recover from a hamstring injury, but the sounds of the Canada camp suggest they are confident their captain will play some part in the group stage. Nevertheless, the co-hosts will be confident of securing their first ever point – or three – in the final against Bosnia after returning empty-handed from their previous two World Cup appearances.
Bosnia will play the role of party pooper, led by 40-year-old captain Edin Dzeko. The former Manchester City striker arrives at this tournament on the back of a sensational few months, winning promotion from Bundesliga 2 with Schalke and scoring a crucial late equalizer in his country’s play-off semi-final against Wales. Bosnia went on to win that game on penalties before beating Italy in the same way in the final, showing they are not here to make up the numbers.
