Canada vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina Live Stream Coverage
Newsroom

Canada squared off against Bosnia-Herzegovina for their first-ever match at the FIFA World Cup on June 12, 2026. The Canadian team, looking for their first win in World Cup history, hosted the European side at BMO Field in Toronto. American manager Jesse Marsch led the team during a tournament that Canada co-hosted with the United States and Mexico.
Bosnia-Herzegovina qualified for the World Cup by eliminating Italy in the playoff final in March, and the team arrived prepared to compete. Canada entered the tournament aiming for redemption after past appearances in the World Cup ended in six losses. They were also motivated to achieve a positive result on home soil, particularly given the backing they might garner from the local fans.
Group B included Qatar and Switzerland alongside Canada and Bosnia, presenting an opportunity for Canada to advance in the tournament if they secured a victory against Bosnia. Later on the same day, the United States men's national team was set to face Paraguay.
This marked Canada's third appearance at the World Cup, having participated in 1986 and 2022, though this time they did so automatically by being co-hosts. Notably, Edin Dzeko and Sead Kolasinac were the only members of the Bosnia-Herzegovina squad who had competed in the country’s previous World Cup journey in 2014.
Canadian captain Alphonso Davies, who made history during the 2022 World Cup by scoring the country’s first-ever goal in that tournament, faced doubts about his participation due to physical issues. Lead-up interviews suggested he had a pessimistic outlook on being fit for the match against Bosnia.
The atmosphere was set for a tense and competitive opening match, highlighting the pressures on Canada, as they aimed to finally earn their first points after a string of unsuccessful World Cup campaigns.
