The correct answer is 'call off'.

• Call off: decide that something will not happen.
  • E.g.: 'The meeting was called off.'
• Call out: summon someone to deal with an emergency or provide a service.
  • E.g.: 'patients are to be told to stop calling doctors out unnecessarily at night'
• Call up: contact someone by phone.
  • E.g.: 'I have a list of people to call up in the morning'.
• Call in: enlist someone's aid or services.
  • E.g.: 'you can either do the work yourself or call in a local builder to help you'.

So, call off is the correct word which can replace cancel as it makes the sentence render the same meaning; that the match will not happen.
