Let's compare it with the last few World Cups. Spoiler: it's MASSIVE.
2018 Russia
32 teams • 64 matches
2022 Qatar
32 teams • 64 matches
2026 🇨🇦🇲🇽🇺🇸
48 teams • 104 matches
Fun Fact: This is the first World Cup hosted by THREE countries at the same time, and the first time EVER with 48 teams. More teams = more surprises, more underdogs, more magic!
🇨🇦 Canada's Group B Matches
Canada plays ALL 3 group games on home soil. Home crowd advantage = MAXIMUM!
MATCH 1 • GROUP B

🇨🇦 Canada vs Bosnia 🇧🇦
🍏 BMO Field, Toronto
MATCH 2 • GROUP B

MATCH 3 • GROUP B
