Portugal to meet Croatia in final World Cup match at Toronto Stadium

Jul 2, 2026 | 2:00 AM

TORONTO — Portugal is set to meet Croatia tonight in a Round of 32 match at the FIFA men’s World Cup.

It’s the final match of the international tournament to be held at Toronto Stadium.

The winner of the match will either take on Spain or Austria, who meet in a matinee earlier today.

If Portugal loses, it could likely be the last World Cup match for 41-year-old striker Cristiano Ronaldo and his legendary career.

Extreme weather could also play a factor.
