Guatemala will face Canada in the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup quarterfinals, marking a crucial test for Luis Fernando Tena’s squad. La Bicolor advanced to the knockout stage for a second straight edition under Tena’s leadership after defeating Guadeloupe 3-2, finishing second in Group C behind Panama, according to ESPN Deportes.

Canada, winners of Group B, secured 7 points with dominant wins over Honduras (6-0) and El Salvador (2-0), and a 1-1 draw against Curaçao. With a strong defense and clinical attack, the Canadians enter the match as clear favorites.

Guatemala will need to tighten their ball control and hope for key players like Jonathan Franco and goalkeeper Nicholas Hagen to recover in time. The last meeting between the two sides ended 0-0 in the 2023 edition, but this rematch offers higher stakes and a chance for Guatemala to surprise.
