The 2026 World Cup continues with decisive challenges for the group stage, where tonight's attention will be on Group B, where Granit Xhaka's Switzerland also seeks to secure qualification.

The Swiss, who have collected 4 points after the first two matches, face Canada, who have the same number of points, at 21:00. A draw sends both teams to the next stage, while a victory will secure the winner first place in the group.

In the next group match, Bosnia and Herzegovina faces Qatar. Both teams have one point each and only a victory can keep their hopes of advancing to the next round alive.

Meanwhile, at midnight, the Group C matches will take place. Morocco, with 4 points, plays against Haiti, which has already been eliminated, while leading Brazil challenges Scotland, which remains in the race for a place in the knockout stage.

In the early hours of Thursday morning, Group A matches will be played.
