About This Match
South Africa face Canada in the Round of 32 on Sunday, June 28, 2026. South Africa are ranked #60 in the world and managed by Hugo Broos; Canada sit at #30 under Jesse Marsch. The match kicks off at 15:00 local time at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
South Africa
South Africa, famously the only host nation to be eliminated in the group stage at World Cup 2010, return to the global stage at the 2026 FIFA World Cup for the first time in 16 years. Bafana Bafana, coached by Belgian Hugo Broos, are an improving side anchored by ageless PSG and Al-Ahly winger Percy Tau. Group A with Mexico, South Korea, and Czech Republic presents a tough but not impossible draw - advancing from the group would match their best tournament finishes. A passionate footballing nation of 60 million, South Africa will be one of the tournament's most popular support acts.
Read South Africa preview →Canada
Canada arrive at World Cup 2026 as a co-host nation buzzing with genuine expectation after their breakthrough qualification for Qatar 2022 ended a 36-year absence from the tournament. Under American coach Jesse Marsch, Les Rouges boast arguably the most exciting generation of players in the country's history - Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies, LOSC Lille's prolific Jonathan David, and emerging stars like Tajon Buchanan. Group B draws Switzerland, Qatar, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Canada will expect to advance from this group for the first time in their history on home soil. A potential last-16 run would ignite a nation and accelerate the growth of soccer culture in Canada.
