Canada enters its final group-stage match against Switzerland on Wednesday (June 24, 2026) with a chance to reach the World Cup knockout stage for the first time while staying on home soil.
Because of two opening draws in Group B, all four teams had a chance to advance entering Wednesday’s games, although Qatar and Bosnia-Herzegovina faced long odds.
With a win or draw against the Swiss, Canada would win the group and play a round-of-32 game at BC Place.
Switzerland, which entered as the favorite in the group, has all but clinched a spot in the next round.
