Canada vs Qatar: Pre-Match Opta Facts
This will be Canada and Qatar’s first World Cup meeting. Their only previous encounter came in a September 2022 friendly in Vienna – Canada won 2-0 through goals from Cyle Larin and Jonathan David. Canada have won their last four matches played in Vancouver, scoring 17 goals and conceding only two. The last team to beat them in the British Columbia city were Mexico in a March 2016 World Cup qualifier (0-3). Canada have faced non-European opposition just one before at the FIFA World Cup, losing 2-1 to Morocco at the 2022 tournament during the group stages. Canada’s 1-1 draw with Bosnia-Herzegovina on MD1 was the first time they’ve avoided defeat in seven matches at the FIFA World Cup. Only Honduras (9) and potentially Egypt (currently 7 before their opener in 2026) have played more games at the competition without ever winning. This is the fourth time the FIFA World Cup host nation is facing a side from Asia, with the hosts winning each of the previous three – Mexico 1-0 Iraq (1986), France 4-0 Saudi Arabia (1998) and Russia 5-0 Saudi Arabia (2018). Qatar gained their first ever FIFA World Cup group stage point in their 1-1 draw with Switzerland on MD1 despite facing 26 shots – that was only six fewer than they faced across their three group games on home soil in the 2022 FIFA World Cup combined (32). Qatar ranked bottom of sides in Group B at the 2026 FIFA World Cup for shots (6), average possession (32%), forward passes (118), touches in the opposition box (8) and successful final third passes (24) on MD1. Promise David assisting Cyle Larin on MD1 was the first time two substitutes have combined for a FIFA World Cup goal for Canada. In Larin’s case, he’d only been on the pitch for 121 seconds, scoring with his first touch in the game. Qatar’s Akram Afif was his side’s only player to create multiple chances on MD1 against Switzerland (2), while across their two FIFA World Cup appearances in 2022 and 2026, Afif had created five more chances than any other Qatari player (7). No Canada player completed more passes against Bosnia-Herzegovina on MD1 than Ismaël Koné (50), with the midfielder also making the most line breaking passes in the final third (9) and applying more high intensity pressures (49) than any of his teammates.Enjoy this?
