Canada are still chasing their first men’s World Cup win, having lost all six previous matches and conceded 12 goals while scoring only twice. Only El Salvador have also lost their first six men’s World Cup matches.

Canada are unbeaten in 2026, going eight matches without defeat and keeping six clean sheets during that run.

The hosts boast a formidable record at Toronto Stadium, losing just one of their last 28 matches there (W18 D9).

Canada’s preparations have been hit by the absence of captain Alphonso Davies, sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Davies scored Canada’s first-ever World Cup goal during the 2022 tournament.

Bosnia and Herzegovina scored in all 10 of their qualifying matches and suffered only one defeat, a 2-1 loss to Austria.

Veteran striker Edin Dzeko, now 40, the country’s all-time leading scorer, netted six goals in nine qualifiers. Dzeko and defender Sead Kolasinac are the only members of the current squad with previous World Cup experience, having featured in 2014.

Canada’s attacking hopes rest largely on their all-time highest goalscorer Jonathan David, who has been directly involved in five goals (4 goals, 1 assist) across the 2024 Copa America and 2025 Gold Cup.
