Canada takes on Morocco on Saturday morning at 10:00am in the FIFA World Cup Round of 16, and the Canadian men’s team has already made history. After reaching the knockout stage for the first time and winning its first-ever men’s World Cup knockout match, Canada now has a chance to reach the quarter-finals for the first time ever!
That’s reason enough to get out of the house, grab breakfast or a pint, and find a room full of fans in red. Whether you’re heading to a pub in South Surrey, catching the match over brunch in White Rock, or simply looking for the loudest screen in town, this is the kind of game people will remember.
Who to watch: Canada’s attack is led by Jonathan David and Cyle Larin, while captain Alphonso Davies could play an even bigger role as his fitness continues to improve. Morocco brings plenty of quality of its own, with Achraf Hakimi providing constant danger from the back and Youssef En-Nesyri always capable of changing a match with a single chance.
Why go? Because Canada is still alive, a quarter-final berth is on the line, and Saturday morning suddenly comes with World Cup-sized stakes.
If you're heading out in South Surrey or White Rock, expect plenty of red jerseys, early pints, brunch tables, and big-game energy.
