Toronto could be in line to host some extra games during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
When Toronto was first selected as one of 16 host sites spread across Canada, the United States and Mexico in June, it was anticipated that BMO Field would get a maximum of five games.
FIFA hasn’t said how it plans to distribute those extra games yet, though the mere possibility of more games has some people involved with the planning in Toronto excited. It is also expected to spend an estimated $41.2 million on training facilities for visiting teams, including major renovations to existing city facilities at Sunnybrook Park and Centennial Park.
The estimated cost to taxpayers for Toronto to host FIFA World Cup games has previously been pegged at $300 million.
