Canadian defensive midfielder Niko Sigur returns to his home town in Vancouver hoping to build on from their opening game draw. In 2018, as a 14-year-old watching the United Bid win the hosting rights on television, he confidently turned to his father and proclaimed: "I’m going to be playing for Canada in that World Cup." Now playing for Hajduk Split, Niko is a key figure for Jesse Marsch's team. After serving as a national team ball boy at BC Place in 2019, he is now stepping on to the grass as a starter in the biggest football tournament on earth. #FIFAWorldCupOnYT #qatar #canada #nikosigur Canada v Qatar | FIFA World Cup 2026™ | June 18 2026 | Pre-game FOLLOW FIFA’S TOURNAMENT CHANNELS BELOW!
