One of the biggest ties in the Round of 32, it even brings with it a story for the ages. It's a contest between two of the game's most distinguished national outfits, pitting two legendary figures of the modern game - former Real Madrid teammates Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modrić - head to head at what is undoubtedly their final World Cup. And they came through as group runners-up in a 48-team World Cup format to meet each other in the 32. Both of them have the quality to go far.
48 teams means that the first round of the competition is the Round of 32 - no second chances, just win and go through or go home. This could be a fixture that is remembered for many years - 2 giants of the game's two biggest players meeting in Toronto. Make sure that you get your seats for the 32 World Cup tickets for this Match 83 fixture at BMO Field. Get your 32 World Cup 2026 Tickets now.
Portugal arrived to the 32 as runners-up in Group K. Roberto Martinez's men started the World Cup with a 1-1 draw against DR Congo and went on to produce their best performance of the tournament in a 5-0 demolition of Uzbekistan before a goalless draw with Colombia left them second on five points.
Cristiano Ronaldo is still the main draw though. The 41-year-old Ronaldo is competing in what we think will be his last World Cup at his own pace. He scored twice against the Uzbekis - becoming the first player ever to score across 6 World Cups in total - which takes him to 10 goals across his career now. He's probably not quite at his usual best in every single game he has played in this year's competition, but with a side so crammed full of star quality from Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva to Vitinha and Rafael Leão, Portugal could still have a fair way to go and should be happy with what they are up against.
Croatia came through to the 32 as the group runners-up in Group L and they have done it with some tough tests. Zlatko Dalić's men lost 4-2 at the hands of England before reacting like seasoned tournament veterans, beating Ghana 2-1 and Panama 1-0 to finish second and qualify on six points. Their victory in that fixture with Panama at this stadium in Toronto means they will come here with good memories. Croatia know the drill of punching well above their weight at World Cups, after all, being second in 2018 and third in 2022. It's around their captain and legend Luka Modrić, a man whose 40th birthday still hasn't stopped him from running around at the age 40, who will have what is possibly his final World Cup at stake. Against Ghana, he became the oldest scorer at World Cup ever – a warning that the 40-year-old is still capable of changing games. With quality throughout his squad, Croatia are capable of taking anyone on and they won't fear anyone.
These two teams have never met in a World Cup match before, which is rather remarkable when you think of it. And they don't have a huge amount in their recent history when you look at their competitive matches against one another so a lot of things are unchartered water for the two sides in this clash, which is exciting for us spectators.
What makes the tie interesting is the star names at the heart of the sides. Both Ronaldo and Modrić were team-mates at Real Madrid, where they won the biggest of prizes for the club game. The Portuguese and Croatian superstars will be meeting each other in their twilight years now. Portugal are slight favourites according to many pundits but Croatia have been in big games before and they have been there for most of it, which should give them the upper hand at BMO Field. There are also a lot of people involved in this tie so it could be tight, tense, thrilling and dramatic.
Cristiano Ronaldo will always be the talisman for Portugal in these big games, so don't be surprised to see everyone focused on him. Bruno Fernandes is a driving force for his team on their travels but the rest of the team, including Bernardo Silva, Vitinha and Rafael Leão, is filled with world-class players as well.
For Croatia it will be Luka Modrić who sets them up but they also have some big guns such as the two Manchester City men in Joško Gvardiol and Mateo Kovačić. They also have players like Nikola Vlasić, Ante Budimir and Petar Musa, who have already scored this tournament in the group phase, to call upon. But there is a lot of big game experience there, which could be important on the night.
Toronto FC's home, BMO Field, is one of the best places to see a World Cup at the tournament. It also hosts the CFL team Toronto Argonauts and its capacity will be around 45,000 after an expansion ahead of the World Cup. In some ways it's more intimate than some of the other 2026 stadiums because it's an open-air venue and the fans are closer to the action and right on top of it. So it'll be nice to see a good, tight contest at it.
This will be the last-ever World Cup match at BMO Field too. Croatia packed it out for their group-stage encounter as their travelling fans made sure they were seen and heard, and Portugal have plenty of big name fans who will want to see their stars succeed. So there's going to be a great buzz surrounding the game. Get ready to witness two global giants and two nations in fierce rivalry battle for Round of 16 berth by exploring the BMO Field ticket options and grabbing your tickets today.
