FIFA World Cup 2026 - Canada vs Qatar

On Thursday, June 18, Group B action comes to BC Place as Canada take on Qatar in a highly anticipated FIFA World Cup 2026™ matchup. This group stage fixture marks only the second time these nations have faced each other, with Canada securing a 2-0 victory in friendly action in the prior meeting.

For Canada, this fixture will be key to hopes of making it beyond the group stage for the first time ever. This will be the host nation’s third time at the World Cup (1986 and 2022), with the likes of Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David hoping to supply the goals that will see the country take their place in the Round of 32.

With former Spanish national team coach Julen Loetegui at the helm, Qatar will be hoping their visit to BC Place will yield three points and a key step on their road to the knockout phase.
