FIFA World Cup Heads to North America – Toronto’s Big Economic Bet
North America will host the FIFA World Cup in 2026, bringing 104 matches to 16 cities across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
FIFA expects to earn $11 billion, while host cities like Toronto invest heavily in stadium upgrades and infrastructure without sharing in the profits. Supporters tout tourism and job growth, but critics warn tax breaks and displaced spending may leave cities in the red. Still, many believe the tournament’s real impact will be felt not in profits, but in community pride and the power of sport.
