For the first time in men's World Cup history, Canada continues its chance to play at home. Its opponent is Switzerland, who has qualified for their sixth consecutive World Cup. Switzerland made the Round of 16 in 2022, with Canada failing to make it out of the group stage.

This is the first World Cup matchup where these two teams have faced off. For Canada, this is just the third World Cup they've participated in. The two foes did face off once in an international friendly in 2002 with Canada winning 3-1.

These two are joined by Bosnia and Herzegovina, and last year's host, Qatar. These are two teams that are relatively new to the World Cup stage. Qatar participated for the first time in 2022 when they qualified as a host country. Four years later, they're back with hopes to build on a dismal 0-3 performance where they scored just one total goal. Bosnia and Herzegovina is back after a 12-year absence.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match and kickoff times.
