Bosnia and Herzegovina Fans Chant for Palestine in Toronto Ahead of World Cup Match
Thousands of Bosnia and Herzegovina supporters filled the streets of Toronto, Canada, on Friday ahead of their team’s opening World Cup 2026 match against the host nation. The crowds were described as reaching into the tens of thousands, turning the city streets into a major fan gathering before kickoff.
Amid the celebration, some fans were heard chanting, “Palestina! Palestina,” in a show of support for Palestinians. The scene was captured by Sport 5, which reported that the pro-Palestinian chants were part of the atmosphere around the team’s pre-match presence in the city.
The report said the Bosnia and Herzegovina fans had come to Toronto for the first round of the tournament and that their chants stood out among the general support songs. The article does not say how the host team or tournament organizers responded to the chanting, and it gives no further update on the match itself.
