The Qatar national football team lost to Canada 6-0 in the FIFA World Cup 2026. The match, which was held in Vancouver, saw a crushing win for Canada. FIFA president Gianni Infantino signed a Russian flag at the match. According to Anton Shapovalov, a member of the Russian national team fan association, the flag was presented in a way that hid its identity before the signing session. Infantino was not aware that it was a Russian flag. The incident sparked widespread reactions, especially since Russia is still suspended from participating in FIFA and UEFA tournaments since 2022. Infantino had expressed his support for a possible gradual return of Russian teams to the international scene. The match saw a strong performance from Canadian players, who scored six goals without reply. The Qatar national football team is looking to improve its performance in upcoming matches.
