Portugal and Croatia face off in 2026 World Cup round of 32

Portugal and Croatia are scheduled to play in the round of 32 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on July 3 at 02:00. The match will take place at the Toronto Stadium in Canada, which is the smallest venue of the tournament with a capacity of 43,036 spectators. This match is considered significant as it could mark the final World Cup appearance for both Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric. The Toronto Stadium recently underwent a 158 million Canadian dollar renovation to meet tournament standards. Unlike larger NFL venues used in the United States or the historic Azteca Stadium in Mexico, this venue offers a more intimate setting for spectators. The event is part of the broader World Cup schedule running from June 11 to July 19.
