Three of the 48 teams competing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup have arrived in Canada.
One of those three teams includes the Canadian men's national team, who will play their first game at Toronto Stadium this Friday. Their opponent, Bosnia and Herzegovina, has also arrived in preparation for the match.
Bosnia & Herzegovina has arrived in Canada ahead of the #FifaWorldCup. The Balkan nation is making their 2nd World Cup appearance & defeated 12th ranked Italy in the qualification tournament to qualify.

Interestingly enough, just two of the 48 teams will call Canada home for the duration of the event: Canada, of course, and Panama. The latter have also arrived at their base camp, which is set up in New Tecumseth, Ont. Canada's base camp, meanwhile, is at the Westin Bayshore in downtown Vancouver.
