South Africa Vs Canada Live Score Updates, FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Today (RSA vs CAN Football Match Scorecard & Commentary):

South Africa take on Canada in the opening clash of the Round of 32 in the FIFA World Cup 2026 at the Los Angeles Stadium in California, USA on Sunday.

Both nations are making history, with Canada reaching the World Cup knockout stage for the first time and South Africa advancing beyond the group stage for the first time.

Canada head into the clash as favourites after finishing second in Group B with four points, highlighted by a record 6-0 win over Qatar. Despite losing home advantage after failing to top the group, Jesse Marsch’s side will be backed by strong support, with Jonathan David and Cyle Larin leading their attack.

South Africa also earned four points in the group stage, progressing thanks to disciplined defending and a memorable victory over South Korea secured by Thapelo Maseko’s winner. Hugo Broos’ well-organised side may lack Canada’s attacking depth but have proven difficult to break down and dangerous on the counter, making them opponents Canada cannot afford to underestimate.
