Friday Quiz – How Well Do You Know Canada?

National pride will soar like never before later this year when Canada’s international soccer team travel to Qatar for their first FIFA World Cup appearance in 36 years.

There’ll be red and white flags covering cities across the country, and we already know that there’ll be incredible excitement and anticipation when the action gets underway.

On the back of their qualification and the buzz around the country that’s to come, we’ve put together a quiz that’ll test how well you know Canada.

This quiz will test your knowledge of Canadian food, geography, music, sport and travel, and the answers will be posted in the comments later this afternoon.

Best of luck!
