Canada's World Cup Shock: Playing Away in LA!

Canada began their FIFA World Cup 2026 knockout stage, playing South Africa in Los Angeles on Sunday. The 2026 tournament, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, has seen all three nations advance. However, only the USA and Mexico will play in their home stadiums.

This is due to the tournament's structure, which grants home advantage to group winners. Mexico and the USA, having topped their respective groups, will play in Mexico City and the San Francisco Bay Area, respectively. Canada, as the second-place finisher in Group B, is playing its crucial Round of 32 match away in Los Angeles.
