This is more than a soccer tournament. It’s the world’s biggest sporting event and a cultural exposition— a moment of connection, community, and shared experience – unlike anything we’ve experienced before.

Billions will be watching, and Canada is ready to host 13 matches featuring the best players in the world in our world-class cities of Toronto and Vancouver.

As Canada’s FIFA Sherpa, I am working closely with our partners to ensure a safe, secure, and welcoming event that will create economic opportunities, boost tourism, and support Canadian businesses.

From coast to coast, to coast, Canadians will come together in pride and celebration — creating lasting memories and legacies that endure long after the final whistle.

Whether you’re visiting or cheering from home, welcome and enjoy the tournament.
