Canada enters the tournament looking to break a historical streak, as they have lost all six of their previous FIFA World Cup matches, scoring just two goals while conceding 12. Bosnia-Herzegovina, making their second World Cup appearance after their debut in Brazil 2014, secured their spot by surprisingly defeating Italy in a qualification match. Led by 40-year-old captain Edin Džeko (born March 17, 1986), who boasts 148 international appearances, Bosnia-Herzegovina is known for their threat from crosses and set pieces.
