Canada and Bosnia prepare for World Cup 2026 opener in Toronto

Summary

Co-hosts Canada begin their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign against Bosnia and Herzegovina this evening at 20:00 BST in Toronto. Both teams feature players from Serie A, with Canada's Jonathan David from Juventus and Ismael Kone from Sassuolo in the line-up. Bosnia includes Tarik Muharemovic and Sead Kolasinac, who play in Italy's top flight, but notable players Edin Dzeko and Kerim Alajbegovic are not in the starting XI. The match follows Bosnia's earlier victory over Italy in a World Cup play-off final, which meant Italy missed out on a spot in the tournament.
