Group B of the 2026 FIFA World Cup promises a fascinating mix of debutants, returnees, and seasoned campaigners. The four teams—Canada, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Qatar, and Switzerland—will battle for a place in the knockout stages.
Canada: Co-hosts with a point to prove
Canada steps onto the global stage as a co-host of the World Cup for the first time, marking the biggest moment in the nation's football history. The Canadian team will look to leverage home support to advance beyond the group stage for the first time.
Bosnia-Herzegovina: Second chance after Italy scalp
Bosnia-Herzegovina secured only their second World Cup appearance by defeating Italy in qualifying. The Dragons will aim to replicate their 2014 debut, where they narrowly missed the knockout rounds.
Qatar: Building on 2022 experience
Qatar made their World Cup debut as hosts in 2022. Now, with tournament experience under their belts, they seek to improve on their group-stage exit and prove their competitiveness on the world stage.
Switzerland: Consistent knockout contenders
Switzerland have reached the Round of 16 at the last three World Cups. With a solid defensive structure and key players, they are favourites to top Group B and extend their streak.
The 2026 World Cup kicks off on June 8, 2026, with matches across North America. Stay tuned for more updates.
