Group B is going to be a competitive one. Every team has a shot at the top of the table. This excitement extends beyond the pitch and into the culinary realm, where the cuisines of the four nations shine. Each country offers distinct culinary traditions and flavors that reflect their heritage. So no matter who you're rooting for, each one of these dishes is worth trying on the grill.
Four nations. Four grilling traditions. Here's what to put on the grill for every match.
Canada — Maple syrup Glazed Pork Back Ribs

Home soil. Home crowd. Home ribs. Canadian pork back ribs glazed in real maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and a hit of apple cider vinegar. Slow cooked on the grill until they pull clean from the bone. The maple glaze caramelises into something dark, sticky, and absolutely worth every minute of the cook. First the world will learn Canada can play ball, then they'll learn the power of maple syrup.
Switzerland — Grilled Cervelat

Switzerland's national sausage is the cervelat, and the only correct way to cook it is over a campfire or grill. Score an X in each end, grill until the four tips curl back like petals, and eat hot with mustard and bread. It's the Swiss equivalent of a national institution. Neutral on the world stage? Never at the grill.
Qatar — Machboos-Spiced Grilled Chicken

Qatar's machboos is a traditional dish featuring slow-cooked rice and chicken, but its spice blends loomi (dried lime), turmeric, cinnamon and cardamom working wonderfully as a marinade for a whole grilled chicken. Simply butterfly the chicken, marinate it overnight, and grill it using indirect heat for a result that is aromatic, tender, and subtly impressive.
Bosnia and Herzegovina — Ćevapi

Bosnia's ćevapi are among Europe's most underrated grilled meats, and the 2026 World Cup offers the perfect opportunity to showcase them to the world. These small, finger-sized sausages made from minced beef and lamb are seasoned simply with garlic and baking soda for texture. They are grilled over charcoal and served with somun flatbread, chopped onion, and kajmak cream. Canada is familiar with the Bosnians after their match, and now we know about Ćevapi as well.
