The “beautiful game” is coming to the beautiful city of Toronto.
Toronto is home to more than three million people whose diversity and experiences make this great city Canada’s leading economic engine and one of the world’s most diverse and livable cities. As the fourth largest city in North America, Toronto is a proud host city for the FIFA World Cup 26™ along with 15 others in Canada, Mexico and the United States.
Embodying the “The World in a City” theme, Toronto showcases its passion for soccer and multicultural identity. The City’s diverse neighbourhoods, united by a profound love for soccer, eagerly anticipate welcoming fans from around the world.
