Qatar face off against Canada this Thursday night at Vancouver's BC Place Stadium in a crucial Group B fixture of the 2026 World Cup group stage.

Jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, this 23rd edition of the World Cup takes place from June 11 to July 19, 2026, and, for the first time ever, brings together 48 national teams.

On the opening day, Qatar earned a 1-1 draw against Switzerland, while Canada and Bosnia & Herzegovina also shared the spoils (1-1).

With one point apiece, Qatar, Switzerland, Canada, and Bosnia & Herzegovina are all level in Group B ahead of this second matchday.

A victory would give Julen Lopetegui's side a major boost in the race for a knockout stage slot and bring them closer to a historic first: reaching the round of 16 at the World Cup.

The match will be refereed by Chilean official Cristian Garay, assisted by his compatriots José Retamal and Miguel Rocha. Peruvian Kevin Ortega will serve as fourth official, while Michael Orue takes the role of reserve assistant referee.
