It could have been Canada-Italy, but the Azzurri’s World Cup dream was shattered on March 31 in Zenica, precisely against Bosnia, who knocked Italy out on penalties in the playoffs, condemning them to a third consecutive absence from the World Cup. In Group B, completed by Qatar and Switzerland, Canada are looking for their first-ever World Cup win after appearing in 1986 and 2022. Head coach Jesse Marsch is relying above all on Jonathan David, who is expected to lead the national team in front of the home crowd. On the other side is an experienced Bosnia team, led by Dzeko in the final World Cup of his career, and strengthened by familiar faces from Italian football such as Kolasinac and Muharemovic. 🔴 Article constantly updated — for live text commentary, click on the match card above. 🇨🇦 The opening ceremony in Toronto After the opening ceremony held at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, the 2026 World Cup also turns the spotlight on Canada.
