The dates for the matches have been a long time coming with Toronto selected as a host city in June 2022.

The City of Toronto put out a release in February to share the excitement, with Mayor Olivia Chow stating, “As Mayor of Toronto, I am thrilled to see our city chosen as a host for six matches in the FIFA World Cup 26. With open arms, Toronto will welcome the world to experience the rich diversity and dynamism of our multicultural city.”
