Team Feature: Canada | From Ball Boy to World Cup Star

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!
