Canada's men's soccer team will host Iceland and Tunisia during the March international window, with both games at Toronto's BMO Field.

The 29th-ranked Canadian men will face Iceland on March 28 and Tunisia on March 31. Both visiting teams will get a second game during the window, playing Haiti in Toronto.

Canada, which will face No. 52 Uzbekistan on June 1 in Edmonton, has just one more opponent to announce. Jesse Marsch's side will take on a yet-to-be-revealed European team in Montreal on June 5 or 6 in its final World Cup warmup.

Canada opens World Cup play on June 12 against a European qualifier in Toronto before heading to Vancouver to face No. 56 Qatar and No. 18 Switzerland on June 18 and 24, respectively.

Tunisia, ranked 47th in the world, qualified for the World Cup in impressive fashion. The team known as the Carthage Eagles went unbeaten in topping its African qualifying group with a 9-0-1 record.

No. 74 Iceland missed out on qualification after finishing third in its European qualifying group at 2-3-1. France booked its ticket by topping the group while runner-up Ukraine advanced to the UEFA playoffs.
