Did You Know?

Toronto is officially the most multicultural city in the world - over 200 languages are spoken and more than 50% of residents were born outside Canada.

Canada last appeared at a World Cup in 1986 - when many of the 2026 players parents were not yet born. The 2026 tournament on home soil is a historic occasion.

BMO Field is the smallest venue in the tournament but is known for creating the most atmospheric experiences in North American football.

Toronto has significant communities from Italy, Portugal, Greece, Croatia and every major football nation - making it uniquely positioned to host international matches.
