The 2026 FIFA World Cup is in full swing, with its inaugural weekend bringing a packed schedule of matches. On Sunday, the third day of the tournament, six nations are set to compete in three distinct clashes, showcasing the expanded 48-team format across the host nations of the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Fans can expect back-to-back action from venues in Santa Clara, Foxborough, and Vancouver.
The day's lineup includes a compelling encounter between Qatar and Switzerland. Qatar enters the tournament looking to reverse a challenging run, having not secured a victory in their last eight outings, with their most recent match being a goalless draw against El Salvador. Their last win dates back to October 2025 during the World Cup Qualifiers. Switzerland, by contrast, has shown more promising form, notching three wins in their last eight games, including a 1-1 draw in their previous fixture against Australia.
Further excitement is anticipated with Haiti facing Scotland. Haiti's recent performances have been mixed, recording four victories in their last eight matches, highlighted by a dominant 4-0 friendly win over New Zealand. Scotland, however, appears to be in strong form, having claimed five wins from their last eight competitive appearances. The final match of the day will see Australia take on Turkiye, rounding out an action-packed Sunday for football enthusiasts worldwide.
