Despite their defeat to Switzerland, Canada managed to reach the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup. There, they will face South Africa, looking for a convincing victory. With this in mind, both sides are expected to have a competitive clash. Here are the confirmed lineups for both sides. Even though they lost the top spot in their group to Switzerland, Canada secured their place in the knockout stage for the first time in their history. There, they will face South Africa, one of the most defensively solid teams at the 2026 World Cup. With this in mind, fans are keeping a close eye on Alphonso Davies‘ availability, as he has yet to make his tournament debut and could be key in attack. Canada have shined as one of the most consistent national teams. While imposing an offensive approach, they also shine in defensive task. To chase the victory, Tajon Buchanan and Liam Millar are set to be key to break the defensive line. Moreover, Jonathan David will also play a huge role, opening gaps within the centerbacks and chasing the goal. While Alphonso Davies is the main star of Canada, he has yet to make his debut at the 2026 World Cup. After suffering a hamstring injury at the beginning of May, he has been recovering, missing the entire group stage. Jesse Marsch has made it clear that he will be available to have some minutes, but he will start from bench. With this, he will look to avoid relapses on his injury. Without being a particularly impressive attacking team, South Africa reached the knockout stage by prioritizing defensive consistency. Therefore, Hugo Broos is expected to stick with his two defensive lines. However, their counterattacks are very dangerous, as they are capable of forcing defensive mistakes from their opponents. Without a striker in top form, they could instead shine through their aerial game, where several players can shine. Cyle Larin #9 of Canada celebrates with Promise David #24 after scoring a goal. South Africa confirmed lineup vs Canada South Africa are looking to upset Canada with a more conservative approach. Head coach Hugo Broos will be without Themba Zwane due to the red card he received in the opening match against Mexico.

In addition, Thapelo Maseko will once again have the task of making the difference in front of goal. With this in mind, South Africa will play as follows: Ronwen Williams; Khuliso Mudau, Ime Okon, Mbekezeli Mbokazi, Aubrey Modiba; Yaya Sithole, Teboho Mokoena; Thapelo Maseko, Relebohile Mofokeng, Oswin Appollis; Evidence Makgopa.

After their convincing victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina, Switzerland face Canada looking to secure their place in the Round of 32. For this, fans are closely monitoring the status of Alphonso Davies, as he could be the difference-maker in breaking down the opposing defense. Despite their disappointing debut against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada secured a victory over Qatar, keeping their hopes of reaching the knockout stages of the 2026 World Cup alive.

Despite his importance to Canada, head coach Jesse Marsch has decided not to rush his recovery, prioritizing his fitness for the knockout stages. However, he has revealed that the 25-year-old star is available and stated that he will not start against Switzerland. “He’s been training with the team the whole week, he will not start but he will be able to play… I would say that we will evaluate what of him in the game. I would like to get him into the match for sure and I think that he can have a big impact… Mentally, to have him back, our captain and best player back in the team is a big factor,” revealed Jesse March in the press conference. Far from being a simple matchup, Switzerland could greatly complicate Canada‘s ambitions. By dominating the midfield and being very quick on the counterattack, they could prove decisive. To achieve this, head coach Murat Yakin will keep Granit Xhaka and Remo Freuler as the core of the midfield, while Breel Embolo will lead the scoring department. In addition, Gregor Kobel could be a difference-maker in the goalkeeper spot, limiting Jesse Marsch’s team. Cyle Larin #9 of Canada celebrating.

Considering this, Canada will play as follows: Maxime Crépeau; Alistair Johnston, Luc De Fougerolles, Derek Cornelius, Richie Laryea; Tajon Buchanan, Mathieu Choiniere, Nathan-Dylan Saliba, Ali Ahmed; Jonathan David, Cyle Larin. Switzerland confirmed lineup vs Canada Switzerland have remained one of the most solid teams at the 2026 World Cup.
