How to Watch Canada vs. Qatar Live: World Cup Match Details and Broadcast Info
Canada looks to claim its first-ever World Cup victory on Thursday, hosting Qatar in a crucial Group B match. The Canadian team earned their initial World Cup point last week thanks to Cyle Larin’s deflected goal securing a 1–1 draw with Bosnia & Herzegovina, keeping their hopes alive.
Qatar also recorded a point in their opener by surprising Switzerland with a draw in Santa Clara, defying the odds and statistics. The 2022 hosts are still in contention to advance to the knockout rounds for the first time.
A win for either side would almost guarantee a spot in the round of 32, as four points usually suffice to progress. The question remains if either team can secure their maiden World Cup victory in this match. Here’s how to catch the action live.
