A rare opportunity to see Guatemala’s national team play on Canadian soil — and this time, there’s plenty on the line.

TORONTO, ON — When was the last time you had the opportunity to watch Guatemala’s national soccer team play a competitive match right here in Toronto?

For thousands of Guatemalans living across the Greater Toronto Area, November 16 isn’t just another date on the soccer calendar. It’s an opportunity to celebrate their heritage, represent their country, and experience something that doesn’t come around very often.

Guatemala will face Canada at BMO Field on Monday, November 16, at 8 PM in the second leg of the Concacaf Nations League Quarterfinals.

And this isn’t a friendly. This is a match that matters.

🇬🇹 Guatemala Is Making History

Guatemala has reached the Concacaf Nations League Quarterfinals for the first time, and the national team is looking to continue its impressive run.

After topping its group, Guatemala now faces Canada in a two-game series that will determine which country advances to the Nations League Finals in March 2027.

The winner will also secure direct qualification for the 2027 Concacaf Gold Cup.

But there’s another reason this matchup is particularly interesting.

Guatemala already knows what it’s like to beat Canada.

In the 2025 Gold Cup, Guatemala shocked the Canadians by eliminating them in a dramatic penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw.

Now the two nations meet again, with Canada looking for revenge and Guatemala hoping to deliver another unforgettable result.

When Will You Get Another Opportunity Like This?

For Guatemalans who have made Toronto, Vaughan, Mississauga, Brampton, and surrounding communities their home, watching their national team in person isn’t something that happens every year.

Many fans have spent years supporting Guatemala from thousands of kilometres away, watching matches on television, celebrating victories with family, and dreaming of seeing their country compete in person.

On November 16, that opportunity comes to their backyard.

No flights to Guatemala. No expensive travel arrangements. No crossing international borders.

Just a trip to BMO Field, a Guatemala jersey, and 90 minutes of supporting the country they love.

And for parents raising Canadian-born children with Guatemalan roots, this is an opportunity to introduce the next generation to their heritage through something as powerful as soccer.

Imagine a father or mother taking their child to watch Guatemala play for the first time.

Those are memories that last a lifetime.

🇬🇹 Let’s Turn BMO Field Blue and White!

Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and its Latin American community knows how to show up when it matters.

We’ve seen the passion that Latin American soccer fans bring to stadiums throughout Canada.

Now it’s Guatemala’s turn.

The flags. The jerseys. The chants. The excitement of hearing thousands of supporters cheering for the same country.

Whether you were born in Guatemala or grew up in Canada with Guatemalan parents, this is an opportunity to celebrate your roots alongside your community.

And while Canada will have the home-field advantage, Guatemalan supporters have an opportunity to make their presence felt.

Let’s make sure Guatemala knows its people are here.

🎟️ Toronto Latinos Has Tickets in the Guatemala Supporters Section

Toronto Latinos has teamed up with Canada Soccer to help bring the Guatemalan community together for this special occasion.

We have tickets available in the designated Guatemala supporters section for $80 each.

This is an opportunity to experience the match surrounded by fellow Guatemalan supporters rather than sitting throughout the stadium.

There are also a limited number of opportunities remaining for children to participate in the pre-match player walkout experience.

For families, it’s another reason to make this a special night.

This Is Bigger Than Soccer

For many immigrants, supporting their national team is one of the strongest connections they maintain with the country they left behind.

It’s about identity, family, tradition, and pride.

Guatemala might be thousands of kilometres away, but on November 16, a little piece of Guatemala will come alive in Toronto.

And whether Guatemala wins or loses, the opportunity to stand alongside your community and cheer for your country is something worth experiencing.

Because the next time Guatemala plays a competitive international match in Toronto could be years away.

So grab your jersey, bring your family, call your friends, and get ready to represent.

¡Vamos Guate! 🇬🇹 Toronto is waiting for you.
