Canada now knows exactly who they will be taking on when they open up their FIFA World Cup on June 12.
Their opponents, Bosnia and Herzegovina, became among the first of the 48 teams competed at next month’s tournament to unveil their 26-man squad on Monday.
Leading the way is talisman Edin Dzeko. The 40-year-old striker helped Schalke earn promotion to the Bundesliga this past season, scoring six league goals in 10 appearances since arriving from Fiorentina in January. He will now play in a second World Cup after previously appearing at Brazil 2014.
Competing alongside Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina in Group B will be Switzerland and Qatar.
