Canada crushes Qatar 6-0 for first-ever World Cup win as crypto sponsors circle the tournament

Canada defeated Qatar 6-0 in Vancouver on June 18, marking its first-ever World Cup victory with Jonathan David scoring a hat-trick. The win keeps Canada in contention for the knockout rounds during the 2026 tournament co-hosted with Mexico and the U.S. Meanwhile, crypto firms Kraken, Chiliz, and Avalanche are positioning themselves as key sponsors, with Chiliz’s "Burn to Glory" program potentially reducing token supply following national team wins.
