Both teams played out draws in their opening World Cup fixtures. The "Maple Leafs" managed only a 1-1 stalemate against Bosnia and Herzegovina, while the "Maroons" secured the same result with a late goal against Switzerland. This means both sides have earned their first-ever World Cup point, but are still chasing their maiden victory. In their previous two tournament appearances in 1986 and 2022, Canada recorded six defeats, while four years ago, Qatar lost all three of their home matches.

Before this encounter, Switzerland and Bosnia and Herzegovina will go head-to-head in the other second-round Group B match, scheduled to start at 10:00 PM.
