How to Watch Canada vs. Qatar Live in the World Cup
Canada Eyes Historic Win Against Qatar at Home
Canada is on the verge of securing a spot in the knockout rounds of the World Cup with a home match in Vancouver against Qatar. The Canadian team earned their first-ever World Cup point last week thanks to Cyle Larin’s deflected goal in a 1–1 draw against Bosnia & Herzegovina. This result keeps Group B wide open.
Qatar, the host nation of the 2022 tournament, also picked up a point in their opener by holding Switzerland to a surprising draw in Santa Clara. With this momentum, Qatar could reach the knockout phase for the first time in their history.
A win for either team would nearly guarantee advancement to the round of 32, as four points is generally enough to move on. Can one of these teams clinch their first World Cup victory? Here’s how to watch.
