It promises to be a fantastic 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 talents 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 record goalscorer. Davies has been ruled out of the opening game after failing to recover from a hamstring injury, but the noises from 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 - at the finals against Bosnia after returning empty-handed from their previous two World Cup appearances.
Playing the role of party poopers will be Bosnia, who are spearheaded by 40-year-old captain Edin Dzeko. The former Manchester City striker arrives at this tournament on the back of a sensational few months in which he won promotion from Bundesliga 2 with Schalke and scored a crucial late equaliser in his country's play-off semi-final against Wales. Bosnia went on to win that game on penalties before beating Italy via the same route in the final, showing they are not here to make up the numbers.
