2026 World Cup warm‑up friendlies feature Haiti vs Peru and other matches

On Friday, 5 June 2026, several national football teams played friendly matches as final preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Paraguay hosted Nicaragua in Asunción, looking to finish its pre‑tournament schedule with a convincing win before traveling to Group D with Australia, the United States and Turkey. Saudi Arabia faced Puerto Rico in Austin, Texas, with the Saudi side favored to dominate. In Montreal, Canada took on Ireland, hoping to extend its unbeaten streak of seven games. The highlighted clash saw Haiti travel to Miami’s Nu Stadium to meet Peru; Haiti, the Caribbean nation’s Group C opponent, entered the game after a 4‑0 victory over New Zealand and aimed to build confidence ahead of the tournament, while Peru, absent from the World Cup, sought to cap its qualification campaign. These matches provided coaches and players a chance to fine‑tune tactics and assess squad depth before the global competition begins later in the year.
