Group B of the 2026 World Cup is a competition between Switzerland, Canada and Bosnia & Herzegovina and Qatar.
Switzerland entered the tournament with the position of the most experienced team in the group. The European representative has participated in 6 consecutive World Cups and owns many top players such as Granit Xhaka, Manuel Akanji or Dan Ndoye.
Canada is considered a direct competitor to Switzerland. Home field advantage and a squad of fast players like Alphonso Davies or Jonathan David help the North American team become formidable. Compared to the remaining opponents, Canada can create high breakthroughs and is expected to win one of the two tickets to the next round if it maintains stable form.
Meanwhile, Bosnia & Herzegovina is the most unpredictable team in the group. The achievement of overcoming Italy in the European regional play-offs shows that the Balkan representative is capable of creating surprises. They have experienced players such as Edin Dzeko or Sead Kolasinac, but the limitation lies in the depth of the force and instability.
Qatar entered the World Cup with fewer expectations. The Asian representative is still significantly dependent on Akram Afif and has not shown clear progress since the 2022 World Cup.
